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.

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 ...

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.

When Scripps Research scientists temporarily turned off microRNA function during development, Purkinje cells developed less complex dendritic arbors (left) than usual. Credit: Norjin Zolboot, Scripps ...

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

The Nobel Prize-winning discovery of microRNA has reshaped our understanding of gene regulation. Learn what these tiny molecules mean for cancer research. The cellular components that turn DNA ...
