The acquisition and development of the infant microbiome are key to establishing a healthy
host-microbiome symbiosis. The maternal microbial reservoir is thought to play a crucial role …

HIV-1 Nef, a protein important for the development of AIDS, has well-characterized effects
on host membrane trafficking and receptor downregulation. By an unidentified mechanism, …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae have remained, for many years, the
primary species of the genus Mycobacterium of clinical and microbiological interest. The …

Psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease that has been associated with
cutaneous microbial dysbiosis by culture-dependent investigations and rRNA community …

Background Phylogenetic studies of bacteria have been based so far either on a single gene
(usually the 16S rRNA) or on concatenated housekeeping genes. For what concerns the …

Background The tumor suppressor p53 is a sequence-specific transcription factor that
regulates an extensive network of coding genes, long non-coding RNAs and microRNAs, that …

Increasing evidence suggests different, not completely understood roles of microRNA
biogenesis in the development and progression of lung cancer. The overexpression of the DNA …

Estrogen receptors (ERs) and p53 can interact via cis-elements to regulate the angiogenesis-related
VEGFR-1 (FLT1) gene, as we reported previously. Here, we address cooperation …

The dysbiosis of the oral microbiome is associated with both localized and systemic diseases.
Modulating the resident microbial communities by the dietary consumption of probiotics …

Methods We used The Cancer Genome Atlas (commonly known as TCGA) data analysis to
evaluate the expression of APE1 in HCC. To identify differentially-expressed miRNAs (…
