This isn't the first time RNA has been honored recently. The molecule has been something of a scientific darling of late: last year, Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman were awarded the Nobel Prize in ...

Neuroscientists discover that Rett syndrome mutations cause a leaky brain via overexpressed miRNA-126-3p, pointing to a new therapeutic target for vascular repair.

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.

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

Dr. Yogesh Dwivedi authored a book chapter “microRNA Function and Dysregulation in Depression and Suicide” in Suicide Phenomenology and Neurobiology, Edited by: Keri Cannon and Thomas Hudzik.

Our brains contain billions of neurons and trillions of connections, and scientists are only beginning to understand the intricate process required to build this level of complexity. This includes ...

US scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun's Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine recognizes their research into microRNA. American scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun are the latest in a long ...

MicroRNAs became the stars of the RNA universe when, in 2001, scientists found that these short RNAs can control whether or not genes are expressed. This month, provocative new findings cast new light ...

Researchers have developed the first method to uncover the tasks that microRNAs perform in single cells. This is a huge improvement over existing state-of-the-art methods that require millions of ...

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine awarded to Gary Ruvkun and Victor Ambros spotlighted microRNA's critical role in gene regulation. Their discovery in the 1990s revealed how these small RNA ...
