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 ...

microRNAs (miRNAs) are essential regulators of gene expression in diverse biological processes and disease states. They are short 22-nt noncoding RNAs that bind to mRNA targets via partial base ...

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 ...

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 ...

A research team led by scientists from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has revealed how secondary structure RNA elements control the cleavage activity of the DICER enzyme in ...

MicroRNAs—as an entirely new class of gene-expression regulators (discovered in humans in 2001)—have elicited widespread interest. These noncoding, single-stranded, 20 to 25 nucleotide RNAs regulate ...
