Five miRNAs identified in fucosylated extracellular vesicles as non-invasive diagnostic signatures for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent and aggressive cancer that presents significant challenges for early detection. This study introduces the GlyExo-Capture method for isolating fucosylated extracellular vesicles (Fu-EVs) from serum. We analyze microRNA (miRNA) profiles from Fu-EVs in 88 HCC patients and 179 non-HCC controls using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and identify five miRNAs (hsa-let-7a, hsa-miR-21, hsa-miR-125a, hsa-miR-200a, and hsa-miR-150) as biomarkers for HCC diagnosis.

Genome sequence of the plant growth promoting strain Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum B9601-Y2 and expression of mersacidin and other secondary metabolites.

The plant-associated Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum strain B9601-Y2, isolated from wheat rhizosphere, is a powerful plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium. Its relative large genome size of 4.
