A new University of Cincinnati Cancer Center study has identified a particular strand of microRNA as a promising new target for overcoming breast cancer treatment resistance and improving outcomes.

A new cancer therapy developed by Purdue University researchers attacks tumors by tricking cancer cells into absorbing a snippet of RNA that naturally blocks cell division. As reported Monday (Sept. 4 ...

By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD By analyzing microRNAs in blood, saliva, and vaginal mucus, researchers uncover fluid-specific ...

A group of researchers led by Alexander Tonevitsky, Dean of the Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology at HSE University, have discovered such characteristics in the microRNA overexpression method. The ...

Victor Ambros receives funding from the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The Conversation Weekly podcast caught up with Victor Ambros from his lab at the UMass Chan Medical School to learn more ...

Just as people's joints can get stiff as they age and make it harder for them to move around, hair follicle stem cells also get stiff, making it harder for them to grow hair, reports a new ...

Discover how urinary microRNA biomarkers can non-invasively identify aggressive bladder cancer subtypes. Read more on this ...

Researchers have identified a microRNA (miRNA) that could promote hair regeneration. This miRNA -- miR-218-5p -- plays an important role in regulating the pathway involved in follicle regeneration, ...

University of Queensland researchers identified a new role for microRNA miR-71 in regulating mitochondrial stress pathways in C. elegans. The molecule prevents stress signals spreading between cells, ...

Researchers found that specific microRNAs can modulate molecular stress responses, influencing how the body copes with prolonged or repeated stress. This is significant because chronic stress is ...
