Image: RNA microarray analysis: heat maps of gene expression values show how experimental conditions influenced production (expression) of miRNA for a set of genes. Green indicates reduced expression. Cluster analysis has placed a group of down regulated genes in the upper left corner (Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons).

MicroRNA Profiling Shows Promise as Diagnostic and Prognostic Tool for Bladder Cancer

Profiling of 15 microRNAs from bladder tissue showed with 100% accuracy whether the cells were normal or malignant,  while the determination of only two miRNAs could predict how well the patient would be able to defend against bladder cancer. More...
