“…In this paper, we argue that the heavy reliance on large-scale cluster-randomized controlled trials (CRTs) to generate evidence on epidemiological endpoints restricts the recommendation of approaches to only those interventions that can be measured by functional units and deliver relatively uniform impact and, therefore, are more likely to receive financial support for conducting these trials. …”

ZNFX1 suppresses apoptosis-associated mRNA stability in cardiomyocyte to protect against myocardial infarction by Yang Shi, Zeqi Sun, Yongchao Chen, Yanli Xie, Chen Chen, Han Lou, Jan Mohammad Omar, Lei Wang, Ling Liu, Heng Liu, Limin Zhao, Henghui Xu, Xiaohan Li, Run Xu, Zhouxiu Chen, Khuzin Dinislam, Yong Zhang, Xin Liu

“…Mechanistically, RNA-seq identified apoptosis as a possible regulated pathway of ZNFX1, overexpression of ZNFX1 repressed the cardiomyocyte apoptosis that gives rise to MI while knockdown of ZNFX1 deteriorated it. Given the structural similarity between ZNFX1 and UPF1 that confers RNA decay functionality, an in-depth investigation is needed to understand the collective impact of ZNFX1-mediated RNA decay on the process of apoptosis. …”
