MicroRNAs play a central role in controlling gene expression, yet how cells select the active strand from each microRNA precursor has remained unclear. In this study, ASU researchers demonstrate that ...
This year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to two American scientists, Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun, for their groundbreaking discovery of microRNA (miRNA), tiny RNA molecules ...
A. miRNAs are cut in the nucleus, sent to the cytoplasm, and processed there to control certain mRNAs. They can also move between cells in tiny bubbles to regulate them. B. miRNA can act as both ...

The great hope for gene therapy is that one day it will be out of the clinic and into mainstream therapeutics. Bearing enormous potential to treat or cure disease, such technology can replace a ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Cancer treatments have traditionally involved a difficult balance between effectiveness and side effects. For skin cancers, this challenge is particularly pronounced. Researchers ...
A team led by Dr. Shiwei Duan (Department of Clinical Medicine, School of Medicine, Hangzhou City University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China) analyzed literature on miRNA. Their work, summarizing the close ...
