The miR-200b/429 located at 1p36 is a highly conserved miRNA cluster emerging as a critical regulator of cervical cancer. Using publicly available miRNA expression data from TCGA and GEO followed by independent validation, we aimed to identify the association between miR-200b/429 expression and cervical cancer. miR-200b/429 cluster was significantly overexpressed in cancer samples compared to normal samples. miR-200b/429 expre...

The Uganda National GeneBank is a key reservoir of genetic diversity for sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), with over 3333 accessions which are predominantly landraces (96.48%), but also includes the weedy accessions (0.63%), breeding lines (2.5%) and released varieties (0.39%). This genetic resource from the primary center of sorghum diversity and domestication is important for broadening the genetic diversity of elite c...

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical used extensively to manufacture polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Because of its estrogen-mimicking properties, BPA acts as an endocrine-disrupting chemical. It has gained attention due to its high chances of daily and constant human exposure, bioaccumulation, and the ability to cause cellular toxicities and diseases at extremely low doses. Several elegant studies have shown t...
