For their discovery of microRNAs, the Americans Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun received this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Here, Pathology in Practice Science Editor Brian Nation compiles a selection of current research interest in these tiny RNA molecules that play a crucial role in health and disease.
MicroRNA-206 in human cancer: Mechanistic and clinical perspectives
Bahari Khasraghi L, Nouri M, Vazirzadeh M et al. Cell Signal. 2023 Jan; 101: 110525. doi:10.1016/j.cellsig.2022.110525.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNAs approximately 20-25 nt in length, play important roles via directly binding to the corresponding 3’ UTR of target mRNAs. Recent research has shown that miRNAs cover a wide range of diseases, including several types of cancer.
