Gastric cancer (GC), which has low survival rates and high mortality, is a major concern, particularly in Asia South America, with over one million annual cases. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) recognized as carcinogen that may trigger gastric carcinogenesis by infecting the stomach epithelium via reactivated B cells, growing evidence linking it to GC. This study investigates transcriptional microbial profiles of EBV-infected versus EBV-non-infected GC patients. Using Illumina NextSeq, cDNA...

Leprosy remains as a public health problem and its physiopathology is still not fully understood. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small RNA non-coding that can interfere with mRNA to regulate gene expression. A few studies using DNA chip microarrays have explored the expression of miRNA in leprosy patients predetermined set genes targets, providing interesting findings regarding regulation immune genes. However, restricted possibility finding new miRNAs might be involved different mechanisms disease....
