Review

[Gene] The authors provide a connection between miRNA expression profiles and prostate cancer by elucidating the fundamental processes of miRNA expression and the target genes.

[Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A] The authors focus on human organ-on-a-chip systems to model cardiovascular diseases, to perform drug screening, and to advance personalized medicine.

[Ebiomedicine] The authors review recent achievements in culturing cells from tissues involved in pregnancy; specifically, trophoblasts from the placenta, and more.

[Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research] Scientists focus on F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (FBXW7)'s role in a range of breast cancer malignant behaviors and summarize the pertinent cellular targets, signaling pathways, as well as the mechanisms regulating FBXW7 expression.

[Cell Biology International] The authors investigate the potential of free nanoparticles in the induction or inhibition of autophagy and consider this effect on the therapy process in breast carcinoma.

[Expert Opinion On Emerging Drugs] Despite the availability of a variety of therapeutic compounds and improved management strategies, one-third of ulcerative colitis patients with moderate-to-severe disease do not benefit from the existing treatments or experience drug-related side effects. The authors summarize available evidence on oral drugs, which are now being explored in clinical trials or are ready to enter the clinics.
