Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the leading cause of death in renal malignancies. MicroRNA-590-5p (miR-590-5p) is of great importance in the processes of many cancers regarding regulation of cancer cell invasion and proliferation. In our study, alternation of miR-590-5p expression in RCC cell lines ...

Altered metabolism is often identified as a cause or an effect of physiology and pathogenesis. But it is difficult to predict the metabolic flux distributions of multicellular organisms due to the lack of an explicit metabolic objective function. Here we present a computational method which can ...

The emergence of antibiotic resistance caused by β-lactamases, including serine β-lactamases (SβLs) and metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs), is a global public health threat. L1, a B3 subclass MβL, hydrolyzes almost all of known β-lactam antibiotics. We report a simple and straightforward UV-Vis approach ...
