To the Editor: microRNAs (miRNAs) are short RNAs that are important in gene regulation in many organisms. In mammals, they guide the RNA-induced silencing complex to target sites typically located ...

The path to the discovery of the first microRNA and its role in translational control Developmental control genes with opposite gain-of-function and loss-of-function phenotypes were considered the ...

On Oct. 2024, biologists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery and description of microRNA, an RNA fragment.Shannon Horning/ ...

such as regulating proteins' expression and function." The team found that a strand of microRNA called miR-205 has a sequence ...

A DNA nanomachine selectively targets skin cancer by detecting microRNA-7, activating phototherapy and releasing chemotherapy ...

"MicroRNA is quite stable ... DNA contains recipes that determine how we look and how our bodies function. Based on these recipes, the body produces various proteins that are the body's building ...

Our understanding of RNA diversity and complexity is rapidly expanding. Particularly microRNAs have emerged as informative biomarkers of cell status and function. Sensitive, specific and unbiased ...
