Identification of novel interactions between MicroRNAs and pattern-recognition receptor signalling in dentritic cells by Pichulik, T

“…Recent evidence has suggested that PRR signalling regulates the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs), important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression, which have been shown to fine-tune innate immune responses.</p> <p>This thesis describes the discovery of miR-650, a novel PRR-responsive miRNA that is down regulated in monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) on PRR stimulation. …”

Use of functional magnetic resonance imaging to identify cortical loci for lower limb movements and their efficacy for individuals after stroke by Choi, Minseok, Kim, Hyun-Chul, Youn, Inchan, Lee, Song Joo, Lee, Jong-Hwan

“…Background Identification of cortical loci for lower limb movements for stroke rehabilitation is crucial for better rehabilitation outcomes via noninvasive brain stimulation by targeting the fine-grained cortical loci of the movements. However, identification of the cortical loci for lower limb movements using functional MRI (fMRI) is challenging due to head motion and difficulty in isolating different types of movement. …”
