Dormant herpesviruses induce their reactivation via a previously unknown cellular mechanism mediated by a viral microRNA. Würzburg researchers show this in the journal "Nature". Eight different herpes ...

This image illustrates the molecular mechanism how double-stranded HDO-antimiR silences the targeted microRNA within cells in comparison with the original single-stranded antimiR. These findings ...

What determines the switch from bone formation to resorption has been unclear. Researchers show that intercellular communication via extracellular vesicles from bone-making osteoblasts is a key factor ...

Our brains contain billions of neurons and trillions of connections, and scientists are only beginning to understand the intricate process required to build this level of complexity. This includes ...

De-escalation of axillary surgery in breast cancer patients with 1-2 positive sentinel nodes after neoadjuvant systemic therapy. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting I.

STOCKHOLM − U.S. scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine for the discovery of microRNA and its crucial role in how multicellular organisms grow and live, the ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are tiny RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by controlling messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and are critical for various biological processes, including development, stress responses ...

Researchers studied an error mechanism in DNA replication, and noticed that some errors create palindromes that can fold into hairpin structures. The complexity of ...

microRNAs (miRNA), non-coding RNA molecules, are widely known for regulating mRNA stability and translation. miR-10b has been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of gliomas, cancers of the ...

STOCKHOLM — Two scientists won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine on Monday for their discovery of microRNA, tiny bits of genetic material that serve as on and off switches inside cells that ...
