A team of student researchers from John Jay College of Criminal Justice has discovered human microRNA genes not shared with any other primate species and which may have played an important role in the ...

The recent Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine given to Gary Ruvkun and Victor Ambros raised awareness of microRNA ... including humans. Understanding miRNA's role in gene regulation opens ...

Their discovery added a new dimension to the understanding of complex gene regulatory networks in humans and animals alike. MicroRNA (miRNA) was initially discovered in Caenorhabditis elegans by ...

Nanoplastics can compromise intestinal integrity in mice by altering the interactions between the gut microbiome and the host ...

BAT was thought to be active only in rodents and human ... diagram analyses. Selected candidates were validated with TaqMan miRNA assay kit according to the manufacturer’s instruction. MicroRNA ...

FANTOM, an international scientific consortium led by RIKEN, has now created the first extensive atlas of microRNA expression in human primary cells. Leveraging the collection of RNA samples ...
