    Prediction of survival and immunotherapy response by the combined classifier of G protein-coupled receptors and tumor microenvironment in melanoma

    Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin tumor, and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play crucial roles in its carcinogenesis. Furthermore, the tumor microenvironment (TME) affects the overall survival (OS) a...

    Dicer generates a regulatory microRNA network in smooth muscle cells that limits neointima formation during vascular repair

    MicroRNAs (miRNAs) coordinate vascular repair by regulating injury-induced gene expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and promote the transition of SMCs from a contractile to a proliferating phenot...

    MicroRNA-126-5p promotes endothelial proliferation and limits atherosclerosis by suppressing Dlk1

    Atherosclerotic lesions develop preferentially at sites of disturbed blood flow. As shown by Christian Weber and his coworkers, this predilection stems from effects of disturbed blood flow on endothelial expre...
