Therapeutic Targeting of microRNAs in Cancer: Future Perspectives
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2015)
The discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) and their link with cancer has opened a new era in cancer therapeutics. Approximately, 18-24 nucleotides long, miRNAs can up-regulate or down-regulate gene expression in many cancer types ...
A genetic programming-based QSPR model for predicting solubility parameters of polymers
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2015)
In this study, linear and nonlinear quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models, respectively called the multiple linear regression based QSPR (MLR-QSPR) model and the genetic programming based QSPR (GP-QSPR) ...
The impact of immunohistochemical staining with ezrin-carbonic anhydrase IX and neuropilin-2 on prognosis in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitors
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2015)
The identification of prognostic factors in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents an area of increasing interest. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the prognostic role of carbonic anhydrase-IX, ezrin, ...

Cancer antigen-125 levels predict long-term mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(INFORMA HEALTHCARE, 2015)
Background: Cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) might be a useful biomarker to predict long-term mortality in patients with recent exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: A total of 87 consecutive ...
Simulating urban growth driven by transportation networks: A case study of the Istanbul third bridge
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2015)
Increasing populations and the related transport volumes are problematic for metropolitan regions in Istanbul especially due to the separation of the city by the Bosphorus strait, which creates significant congestion, ...
Long-term assessment of bone formation in response to Gen Os and Gel 40 xenografts in an experimental rat model
(ALLIED ACAD, 2015)
The study's aim was to assess long-term bone healing associated with two different xenografts in an experimental model of parietal bone defects in rats. We surgically created two symmetrical, full-thickness, parietal bone ...
