Indeed, a single microRNA can regulate anywhere from 10 to 100 protein-coding RNAs. Rather than translating DNA to proteins, they instead can bind to protein-coding RNAs to silence genes.

STOCKHOLM — The Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine was awarded Monday to Americans Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their discovery of microRNA, tiny pieces of genetic material that alter ...

MicroRNA does not make proteins, but helps to control what cells are doing, including switching on and off critical genes that make proteins. Last year’s Nobel for medicine went to scientists who ...

We now know that humans have more than 1,000 types of microRNA and that virtually every gene is regulated at the mRNA level by several microRNAs. Related Nobel Prize in chemistry goes to CRISPR ...

In addition to slowing or reversing tumor growth, the targeted microRNA-34a strongly suppressed the activity of at least three genes -- MET, CD44 and AXL -- known to drive cancer and resistance to ...
