Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating, multi-systemic condition that has gained renewed global attention due to its clinical overlap with the growing...

The scientist was the first author of the pioneering ‘Cell’ study on microRNA, but it is typically the last author who is recognized as the leader of the research group

Is there a connection between bird flu and microRNA, the tiny bits of RNA which have different tasks in regulating genes and producing the body's building blocks?

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Like tiny superheroes, small, naturally occurring segments of RNA can block multiple molecular paths that cancer cells use to grow and spread, a substantial advantage over even…

Plus: Nobel Prizes were awarded for the discovery of microRNA’s role in gene regulation and development of Google Deepmind’s AlphaFold.

Author Correction: The hunter becomes the hunted in target-directed microRNA degradation A recent author correction has been issued for a key review article in Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology on target-directed microRNA degradation (TDMD). This regulatory mechanism, where a microRNA's own target RNA can trigger the miRNA's destruction, represents a sophisticated layer of post-transcriptional control. The original article detailed how this process fine-tunes gene expression networks, impacting cellular differentiation, metabolism, and stress responses.

FANCL's recent research reveals how a specific microRNA, miR-365a, can inhibit skin aging while promoting collagen and elastin production, leading to innovative anti-aging cosmetics.

Breakthrough discovery: It's not the 'cortex' but a tiny microRNA, mir-193, that determines black and white wing colors in butterflies and moths.

Using a novel lab method they developed, McGill University researchers have identified nine molecules in the blood that were elevated in teens diagnosed with depression. These molecules also predicted...
