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 ...

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 ...

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 (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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at New York University's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics and the University of California, Berkeley have used computational analyses to predict a genome-wide map of microRNA ...

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 ...

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.
