  • Publication number: 20160194712
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods of determining whether a patient responds to a therapeutic treatment of an autoimmune disease, of monitoring the course of an autoimmune disease in a patient, of determining the risk for a relapse of an autoimmune disease in a patient, and of adjusting the dose of a therapeutic drug applied for therapeutic treatment of an autoimmune disease in a patient. Said methods are based on the determination of the level of at least one miRNA in a test sample isolated from the patient. The invention also relates to a method of identifying a compound suitable for the treatment of an autoimmune disease in a patient.

  • Publication number: 20150337393
    Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNA) are a recently discovered class of small non-coding RNAs (17-14 nucleotides). Due to their function as regulators of gene expression they play a critical role both in physiological and in pathological processes, such as cancer. The present invention provides novel methods for diagnosing prostate cancer based on the determination of specific miRNAs that have altered expression levels in different conditions, e.g.
