miR-150-5p at the Interface of Cancer Biology and Immune Regulation: Dual Roles, Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Opportunities

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally and play crucial roles in cancer biology and immune function. Among them, miR-150-5p has emerged as a key regulator with complex, context-dependent roles in both tumorigenesis and immune cell differentiation. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of current knowledge on miR-150-5p, highlighting its dual function as a tumor suppressor or oncogene ...

MRI-Based Habitat Radiomics for Differentiating Early-Stage Endometrial Carcinoma from Submucous Leiomyoma: A Multicenter Validation Study

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based habitat radiomics for preoperatively distinguishing early-stage endometrial carcinoma (EC) from submucous leiomyoma (SML). Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on uterine lesions patients who underwent MRI from three hospitals. The k-means clustering algorithm was applied to segment the MRI into distinct habitats based on T1-weighted ...
