UrduMicroRNAs, or miRNAs, regulate genes and biological processes in the human body, including cancer formation and development. To explore the feasibility of miRNAs as cancer biomarkers, researchers created a multiclass cancer diagnostic model using miRNA expression profiles. The study examined the relationship between the composition of miRNAs and various types of cancers. Findings suggest that miRNAs may be highly unique to specific cancerous tissues and can be strong biomarkers for detection and classification in both research and the clinical field

Study: Vitamin D May Play a Role in Prostate Cancer Disparities
Vitamin D deficiency could be the reason African American men experience more aggressive prostate cancer at a younger age compared with European American men, new research from Cedars-Sinai Cancer suggests.
Investigators Discover New Mechanism to Boost RNA Therapies
Investigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai have identified how biological pacemaker cells—cells that control your heartbeat—can “fight back” against therapies to biologically correct abnormal heartbeat rates.
When used as a biomarker, microRNA can help predict which breast cancer patients are more likely to see their cancer come back
MicroRNA (miRNA) can be used as a biomarker to predict which patients are likely to face breast cancer recurrence and mortality, according to study results published online ahead of print in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS).
The hunt to find causes and treatments for deadly childhood cancer
Neuroblastoma is the deadliest and most common solid cancer in young children the world over, accounting for 15 per cent of all childhood cancer deaths. But Australian researchers are taking the first steps to find the cause and better treatments for this devastating disease which affects children under the age of five.
