It was announced today that Professors Ambros and Ruvkun have been jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Responding to the […]
MicroRNAs may contribute to atherogenesis in a cell-type-dependent manner: Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have uncovered potential mechanisms by which microRNAs (miRNA) drive atherogenesis in a cell-type-specific manner. Published in the Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology journal, the study provides novel insight into the miRNA profiles of the main cell types involved in atherosclerosis. […]
New research on why ‘poo’ transplants effectively treat C. difficile could lead to more treatments for similar conditions Experts have uncovered a new molecular reason why faecal transplants are highly effective in treating infections such as C. difficile (a nasty bacteria that can infect the bowel), which could lead to more targeted treatments for this […]
