February 27th, 2007
Research findings, "microRNAs as oncogenes and tumor suppressors," are discussed in a new report. According to recent research published in the journal Developmental Biology, "MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a new class of non-protein-coding, endogenous, small RNAs. They are important regulatory molecules in animals and plants. miRNA regulates gene expression by translational repression, mRNA cleavage, and mRNA decay initiated by miRNA-guided rapid deadenylation." "Recent studies show that some miRNAs regulate cell proliferation and apoptosis processes that are important in cancer formation. By using multiple molecular techniques, which include Northern blot analysis,...
