Aim Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) often presents as an invasive tumor with poor prognosis. Recent evidence suggests that microRNAs, particularly miR-1-3p, may regulate the molecular pathways associated with tumor invasion. This study aimed to investigate the functional role of miR-1-3p in OSCC invasion using integrated in vitro , in vivo , and ex vivo approaches, and to evaluate its expression in tumors with varying dept...

A new fungal species constantly associated with hazelnut ( Corylus avellana ) fructification starting from its primordia is described. The fungus is associated with hazelnut fruit during all their developmental stages, being consistently more present in spring (March–June). A 4-year survey has been conducted, from young fruit formation to full kernel maturity including also the post-harvest phase, to collect fungi associated w...
