New research suggests that microRNAs play a crucial role in the advanced development of the brain, including in humans. Octopuses have fascinated scientists and the…
Cephalopods like octopuses, squids, and cuttlefish are highly intelligent animals with complex nervous systems. A team of researchers has now shown that their evolution is…
Eight different herpes viruses are known to date in humans. They all settle down permanently in the body after acute infection. Under certain circumstances, they…
Levels of certain microRNAs indicate risk for cognitive decline. Researchers at the DZNE and the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) have identified molecules in the…
A recent study by Nagoya University researchers revealed that microRNAs in urine could be a promising biomarker to diagnose brain tumors. Their findings, published in…
Researchers demonstrate an injectable gel that slowly releases short gene sequences known as microRNAs into the heart muscle, allowing it to regenerate after injury. In…
By twisting RNA strands into a triple helix and embedding them in a biocompatible gel, researchers from MIT have developed a new way to shrink…
A new study from Yale University reveals that miR-148a modifies LDL receptors in liver cells of both mice and humans and suppresses a gene that…
New research from Yale University reveals a new pathway for passing genetic messages between cells. A Yale-led research team has described a novel pathway for…
By studying miR-107 in zebrafish, Yale researchers have discovered that miR-107 plays a key role in early brain development, and perhaps in the development of…
A newly published study from Yale University scientists could lead to the development of new therapies aimed at restoring the signaling balance in the pulmonary…
Two new studies suggest that heart muscle cells can make copies of themselves at a very low rate, but researchers have developed a genetic trick…
Cardiac stress that’s caused by a heart attack or high blood pressure will frequently lead to pathological heart growth and eventually lead to heart failure….
Using nanoparticles that deliver a compound that specifically targets miR-155, biologists at Yale University were able to stop lymphoma in mice when injected directly into…
New research shows that tuberculosis and sarcoidosis are not only similar clinically, but their biosignatures also have a number of elements in common and scientists…
