6 MiRNAs are critical components of competing endogenous RNA network in cells. 7 Via binding to complementary sites on mRNA 3ʹUTR, miRNAs promote mRNA degradation or inhibit mRNA translation to repress gene expression. 8 Dysregulation of miRNAs results in abnormal expression of target genes and is associated with cancer development. 9 Hundreds of cancer-associated miRNAs have been reported in colorectal cancer. 10,11 For example, miR-193a-3p, which is downregulated in BRAF-mutated colorectal c...

Background Despite the environmental value of biobased lubricants, they account for less than 2% of global lubricant use due to poor thermo-oxidative stability arising from the presence of unsaturated double bonds. Methyl branched fatty acids (BFAs), particularly those with branching near the acyl-chain mid-point, are a high-performance alternative to existing vegetable oils because of their low melting temperature and full saturation. Results We cloned and characterized two pathways to produce...
