Oral Diseases (2011) 17, 345–354 For the past two decades, salivary diagnostic
approaches have been developed to monitor oral diseases such as periodontal diseases …

The prevalence of type‐2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing significantly throughout the globe
since the last decade. This heterogeneous and multifactorial disease, also known as insulin …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a novel, phylogenetically extensive family of small RNAs (∼
22 nucleotides) with potential roles in gene regulation. Apart from the finding that miRNAs …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate the expression of
target genes by binding to the target mRNAs. Although a large number of animal miRNAs …

In the elucidation of the microRNA regulatory network, knowledge of potential targets is of
highest importance. Among existing target prediction methods, RNAhybrid [M. Rehmsmeier …

Purpose: We have previously shown that a transcriptome is found in saliva and subpanels of
these mRNAs can be used as oral cancer biomarkers. In this study, we measured the …

A large set of endogenous small RNAs of predominantly 21 to 24 nucleotides was identified
in Arabidopsis. These small RNAs resembled micro-RNAs from animals and were similar in …

Duplexes of 21-nt RNAs, known as short-interfering RNAs (siRNAs), efficiently inhibit gene
expression by RNA interference (RNAi) when introduced into mammalian cells. We show …

Emerging evidence suggests that microRNA, which are well‐conserved, abundant and
small regulatory RNA, may be involved in the pathogenesis of human cancers. We recently …

Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been found to have roles in a great variety of processes,
including transcriptional regulation, chromosome replication, RNA processing and …
