Study in Nature: MicroRNAs hold promise for treating diseases in blood vessels
A newly discovered mechanism controls whether muscle cells in blood vessels hasten the development of both atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, according to an article published online today in the journal Nature . The study was led by the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GIC...Putting microRNAs on the stem cell map
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (August 7, 2008) Embryonic stem cells are always facing a choiceeither to self-renew or begin morphing into another type of cell altogether. It's a tricky choice, governed by complex gene regulatory circuitry driven by a handful of key regulators known as "master transcript...Replacing absent microRNAs could make tumors less invasive, more treatable
One group of small, non-coding RNA molecules could serve as a marker to improve cancer staging and may also be able to convert some advanced tumors to more treatable stages, report a University of Chicago-based research team in the April 1, 2008, issue of the journal Genes & Development. Carcin...2 microRNAs promote spread of tumor cells
(Philadelphia) The more scientists learn about microRNAs short strands of RNA that can interfere with normal gene activity the more obvious it becomes how closely they are associated with cancer.
