“The microRNA fraction is less complex,” he says, “but that doesn't mean you can get away with a poor experimental design or fewer replicates.” Before launching any kind of profiling ...

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? "MicroRNA is quite stable ...

Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun won this year’s Physiology or Medicine award for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Danielle is an Assistant Editor at The ...

The origin of their recognition comes from a pair of studies published in the journal Cell way back in 1993, which demonstrated for the first time that microRNA was involved in gene regulation in ...

Particularly microRNAs have emerged as informative biomarkers of cell status and function. Sensitive, specific and unbiased microRNA profiling in liquid biopsies – from serum and plasma, to urine and ...
