MicroRNAs are small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by suppressing the RNA pathway that translates genes into protein. They act like 'master switches', having the ability to control the activity of multiple genes.
Researchers at Yale have identified a potential therapeutic target for cancer in the form of a micro RNA (miRNA) gene that cancer cells, but not normal cells, are dependent on for survival. Inactivating the miRNA causes cancer cell death and tumour regression....
Researchers have uncovered a genetic mutation linked to the neurodegenerative condition, Parkinson's disease, which affects one in five hundred people in the UK, mainly over the age of 60....
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, have discovered that microRNA (miRNA) play a key role in the switch in state between a stem cell and a mature, differentiated cell...
