The study focuses on tiny molecules called small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs), which include microRNAs. Unlike mRNA (messenger RNA), these RNA molecules don't code for proteins but play a major role in ...

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.

Research in Aging Cell indicates that blood levels of particular small non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression, may influence how long a person lives. Investigators evaluated 828 small ...

Purdue University researcher Andrea Kasinski is leading work on the relationship between microRNAs — small, non-coding segments of RNA — and cancer, including developing a modified microRNA that curbs ...

An interdisciplinary and international research group led by Dr. Volker Busskamp from the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden at the TU Dresden (CRTD) has decoded the regulatory impact on ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have shown that disrupting energy metabolism in tumor cells can slow the growth of group 3 medulloblastoma, a highly aggressive pediatric brain cancer, in mice. The study ...

A newly revealed “aging cliff” in sperm RNA marks a conserved molecular transition from youth to later life, offering fresh insight into how a father’s age may influence the earliest stages of ...
