Non-coding RNAs as biomarkers of myocardial infarction
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) encompass a family of ubiquitous RNA molecules that lack protein-coding potential and have tissue-specific expression. A significant body of evidence indicates that ncRNA's aberrant expression plays ... -
Novel polymethoxylated chalcones as potential compounds against kras-mutant colorectal cancers
( Bentham Science Publishers , 2020 , Article)Background/Objective: KRAS-mutant colorectal cancers (CRC) are tumors that are associated with poor prognosis. However, no effective treatments are available to target them. Therefore, we designed and synthesized novel ... -
Oligomeric and phosphorylated alpha-synuclein as potential CSF biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease
( BioMed Central , 2016 , Article)Background Despite decades of intensive research, to date, there is no accepted diagnosis for Parkinson’s disease (PD) based on biochemical analysis of blood or CSF. However, neurodegeneration in the brains of PD patients ... -
