What are Micro-RNAs (miRNAs)? Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, non-coding RNA molecules that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. These tiny ...

Researchers from the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Science have achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of enzymology. Three graduate students, namely Noreen Ahmed, Nadine Ahmed, and ...

Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their groundbreaking ...

Obesity has been associated with alterations in a variety of risk factors for breast cancer including inflammation-related biomarkers, insulin resistance, biomarkers of angiogenesis, sex steroid ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are sections of RNA over 200 nucleotides in length that are not translated into proteins, remaining in the nucleus following transcription in relatively low concentration ...

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia, are medical conditions that entail the progressive loss ...

Although the function of most long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) genes remains a mystery, a subset is co-expressed in the brain along with neighboring genes that code for proteins involved in gene expression ...
