Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the involvement of miR-34a-5p, miR-99b-5p, and miR-96-5p in certain cancers, as well as the use of agonists or antagonists thereof to treat the same.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides biomarkers for the identification of prostate cancer and methods of use. The present disclosure also provide biomarkers that can be used for determining risk of developing prostate cancer, aggressiveness of prostate cancer and survival rate for subpopulations of African American males or non-Hispanic white males.

Abstract: A method of classifying a patient for eligibility for cancer therapy based on the presence or absence of splicing variants in a sample of the patient's cancer tissue. Also, a method of screening cancer therapies for efficacy against splicing variants. More specifically, the methods relate to novel splicing variants of genes associated with cancer risk and survival, particularly splicing variants of PIK3CD, FGFR3, TSC2, RASGRP2, ITGA4, MET, NF1 and BAK1. Also more specifically, the methods relate to classifying a patient for eligibility for cancer therapy involving the use of GS-1101.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel splicing variants of the genes associated with prostate cancer risk and survival, particularly splicing variants of PIK3CD, FGFR3, TSC2, RASGRP2, ITGA4, MET, NF1 and BAK1. The disclosure also relates risk assessment, detection, diagnosis, or prognosis of prostate cancer. More specifically, this disclosure relates to the detection of certain splicing variants of PIK3CD, FGFR3, TSC2, RASGRP2, ITGA4, MET, NF1 and BAK1.

Abstract: A super-secreting protease A-deficient strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which, when starved for a nitrogen source, undergoes a pseudohyphal-like growth mode, and, when transformed with a secretion vector containing a DNA sequence which encodes a mouse &agr;-amylase, is capable of secreting the mouse &agr;-amylase at 2,000 to 15,000 units/liter.
