Just as two DNA strands naturally arrange themselves into a helix, DNA's molecular cousin RNA can form hairpin-like loops. But unlike DNA, which has a single job, RNA can play many parts -- including ...
A review in Biomolecules and Biomedicine sheds light on how microRNAs (miRNAs)—small regulatory RNA molecules—play a central role in the body's response to Klebsiella pneumoniae, a major cause of ...
MicroRNAs are essential for Purkinje cells to develop their characteristically elaborate dendritic arbors. When Scripps Research scientists temporarily turned off microRNA function during development, ...
