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 authors provide further insight into microRNA biology, and the simplicity of anti-miR oligonucleotide drug delivery. RNA-based therapeutics hold significant potential as promising treatment ...

PHILADELPHIA -- Researchers long thought that only one strand of a double-stranded microRNA can silence genes. Though recent evidence has challenged that dogma, it's unclear what the other strand does ...

A research team from the University of Eastern Finland and the University of Oxford says it has shown that small RNA molecules occurring naturally in cells, i.e., microRNAs, are also abundant in cell ...

In the October15th issue of G&D, Dr. Fen-Biao Gao and colleagues at UCSF report that microRNA-9a (mir-9a) regulates neural development in the fruit fly, Drosophila. Using loss-of-function analysis, Dr ...

Researchers have found that levels of methylated microRNA were significantly higher in tissue and serum from cancer patients compared with that from normal controls. Specifically, methylation levels ...
