The complexity of living organisms is encoded within their genes, but where do these genes come from? Researchers resolved outstanding questions regarding the origin of small regulatory genes, and ...

Every cell in our body starts out with the same set of genetic instructions, or DNA. Yet only some of these genes are expressed in each cell, leading to the production of proteins that perform the ...

This year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to two American scientists, Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun, for their groundbreaking discovery of microRNA (miRNA), tiny RNA molecules ...

MicroRNA-27a has been shown to stimulate both the wingless-type integration site family, or Wnt signaling, and the bone morphogenetic protein pathways to actively promote bone regeneration, according ...

STOCKHOLM (AP) — 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 ...

The 2024 Nobel prize in physiology or medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of tiny pieces of RNA, called microRNAs, that play a key role in regulating gene ...

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