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 ...
Neuroscientists discover that Rett syndrome mutations cause a leaky brain via overexpressed miRNA-126-3p, pointing to a new therapeutic target for vascular repair.
Andrea Kasinski receives funding from the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, and the American Lung Association. She is the inventor on multiple patients associated with her ...
Victor Ambros receives funding from the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The Conversation Weekly podcast caught up with Victor Ambros from his lab at the UMass Chan Medical School to learn more ...
MIT researchers have discovered that two common genetic mutations that cause Rett syndrome each set off a molecular chain of events that compromises the structural integrity of developing brain blood ...
A new cancer therapy developed by Purdue University researchers attacks tumors by tricking cancer cells into absorbing a snippet of RNA that naturally blocks cell division. As reported Monday (Sept. 4 ...
American professors Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun were honored Monday for their discovery of microRNA, tiny pieces of genetic material that alter how genes work at the cellular level and could lead to ...
The Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA, molecules that help control how genes are expressed. Their findings unlocked new areas of ...
MicroRNAs can make plants more capable of withstanding drought, salinity, pathogens and more. However, in a recent study scientists showed just how much we didn't know about the intricate processes ...
