The Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA, molecules that help control how genes are expressed. Their findings unlocked new areas of ...

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, ...

“MicroRNA alters how genes in the cell work,” said Fletcher, who is an outside expert not associated with the Nobel prize. “If we take the example of cancer, we’ll have a particular gene ...

MicroRNA work by providing genetic instructions that influence how cells produce proteins, according to Dr. Claire Fletcher, a molecular oncology lecturer at Imperial College London.

Treatments based on microRNA are in clinical trials for heart disease, cancer and neurodegenerative disease. Other scientists saw another message in the Nobel committee’s selection.

MicroRNA expression profiles can be used to distinguish normal B cells from malignant B cells in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We investigated whether microRNA profiles are asso ...

This microRNA — miR-124-3p — is thus a potential therapeutic target for novel drug development, and it can serve as a putative biomarker for MDD pathogenesis. Micro RNAs, or miRNAs, interact with ...

Using microRNA expression profiling, we studied samples of leukemia cells from adults under the age of 60 years who had cytogenetically normal AML and high-risk molecular features — that is, an ...

Termed 'microRNA sponges', these competitive inhibitors are transcripts expressed from strong promoters, containing multiple, tandem binding sites to a microRNA of interest.

MicroRNA discovery. MicroRNA (miRNA) was initially discovered in Caenorhabditis elegans by Victor Ambros' laboratory in 1993 while studying the gene lin-14.
