Genome-Wide Expression of MicroRNAs Is Regulated by DNA Methylation in Hepatocarcinogenesis by Jing Shen, Shuang Wang, Abby B. Siegel, Helen Remotti, Qiao Wang, Iryna Sirosh, Regina M. Santella

“…Six miRNAs were validated in 56 additional paired HCC tissues, and significant inverse correlations were observed for miR-125b and miR-199a, which is consistent with the inactive chromatin pattern found in HepG2 cells. Conclusion. These data suggest that the expressions of miR-125b and miR-199a are dramatically regulated by DNA hypermethylation that plays a key role in hepatocarcinogenesis.…”

Innovative approach for modelling gravity-induced signal path variations of VLBI radio telescopes by Michael Lösler, Cornelia Eschelbach, Ansgar Greiwe, Boye Zhou, Lucia McCallum

“…However, more recent investigations refute the assumption of homogeneous deformation, because the receiver unit can be affected by arbitrary deformation patterns. Hence, identification and modelling as well as considering all deformation patterns that can be parameterised in a corresponding correction function require specific and more complex analysis approaches. …”
