Researchers uncover that ALV-J boosts miR-155 to suppress TRAF3 and STAT1, weakening immune responses and promoting viral ...

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 ...

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a critical clinical condition characterized by diffuse inflammation of the lung parenchyma and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers explored micro-ribonucleic acids (RNAs) associated with diabetes and related characteristics in human ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of tiny RNA molecules that regulate the expression of target genes by means of complementary base pair interactions. Although the first miRNAs were discovered ...

Meeting an octopus is, in many respects, the closest we can come to meeting interplanetary aliens. Yet, new research shows their brains have some startling commonalities to those of humans—perhaps ...
