[Skeletal Muscle] Researchers investigated muscle tissue homeostasis in adult Fmr1-/- mice, analyzing myofiber cross-sectional area in vivo and satellite cell proliferation ex vivo, and explored the molecular mechanisms of Decapping protein 1a (Dcp1a) and Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (Fmrp) function in quiescence, proliferation and differentiation.

[Cancer Cell International] NCK1-antisense 1 (NCK1-AS1) was overexpressed in melanoma cell lines and NCK1-AS1 knockdown hampered the proliferation and migration of melanoma cells.

[RNA Biology] Researchers discovered that ZBED3 antisense RNA 1 (ZBED3-AS1) was overexpressed in melanoma cells compared with human epidermal melanocytes.

[Cell Death & Disease] Loss-of-function study was used to evaluate the effects of Proteasome 26S subunit ATPase 2 (PSMC2) knockdown in cell proliferation, apoptosis and migration. Knockdown of PSMC2 suppressed breast cancer progression in vitro and in vivo.

[Life Sciences] Researchers investigated the role of miR-223-3p in promoting radiotherapy resistance of prostate cancer cells by activating glycolysis.

[Journal of Pathology] Scientists demonstrated that periostin was markedly upregulated in diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced mouse hepatocellular carcinoma tissues (HCC) and periostin knockout impaired DEN-induced HCC development.
