New research shows that both strands of microRNA cooperate to drive growth and aggressiveness across cancer types, suggesting that these molecules may be more central in deadly cancers than ...

Millions of kidney patients could benefit from early detection and prevention as a result of the breakthrough made by ...

In this Review, Arner and Kulyté addressed the characterization and functions of miRNA regulatory networks in human adipose tissue, in particular the networks that contribute to chronic low-level ...

MicroRNAs (or miRNAs) represent an abundant class of small, conserved, non-coding RNAs (approximately 22 nucleotides in length) that direct post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. In ...

New Study Examines MicroRNA’s Function In Plants And Animals Date: May 24, 2004 Source: Whitehead Institute For Biomedical Research Summary: Scientists suspected that microRNAs behave ...

To investigate how microRNAs are involved in neuron differentiation, the team developed new tools that temporarily turn off microRNA function during specific developmental windows.

Since the "slicer" activity of Ago2 would be the most efficient way of regulating microRNA function, O'Carroll wanted to see whether it plays a role in the development of blood cells.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression in many different organisms and cell types. In mouse embryonic stem cells, a regulatory circuit that involves let-7 and its target mLin41, which encodes ...

For instance, the scientists found that microRNA-210, a molecule previously strongly associated with hypoxia, is in fact especially abundant in the cell nucleus.

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was jointly awarded to Victor R. Ambros, PhD, and Gary Ruvkun, PhD, for the discovery of microRNA and its role in gene regulation.The Nobel Assembly ...
