MicroRNAs are essential for Purkinje cells to develop their characteristically elaborate dendritic arbors. When Scripps Research scientists temporarily turned off microRNA function during development, ...

Analyzing gene expression can provide a roadmap for deciphering the role of specific genes or elaborating critical players in functional metabolic pathways. Companies are pursuing solutions to better ...

microRNAs (miRNA), non-coding RNA molecules, are widely known for regulating mRNA stability and translation. miR-10b has been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of gliomas, cancers of the ...

Potential of Field Is Catalyst for Emerging Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategies As key regulators of gene expression and cellular machinery, microRNAs may be the most significant discovery in ...

After years of type 2 diabetes, red blood cells may quietly turn against the heart—offering a new clue for spotting danger ...

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their groundbreaking discovery of microRNA and its pivotal role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
