MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and influence numerous cellular functions. Together with mature RNAs and small molecules, mature miRNAs can induce forced reprogramming

As cell biologist, when working in labs I have in the past witnessed several “X-files” in a flask of cells along my way: all cells of an established cell line are supposed to have the same genetic background

Following on from my previous post  in which I started to introduce a series of techniques to investigate the impact of miRNA expression on cell fate, let's take a look at the first one: miRNA detection

In this third post of the miRNA-related series, let's take a look at miRNA overexpression.

miRNA mimics

Short RNAs are very prone to enzymatic degradation. Novel chemical technologies now allow RNA stabilization

Following on in our series on microRNAs (miRNA - Keys to open cell biology’s secret chamber) , in this post, we'll be taking a look at Antagomirs (which are also called anti-miRs or blockmirs). These

Leading on from my previous posts (see below) exploring microRNA detection, overexpression and inhibition, this time, let's spend a moment on target detection.

There are many online
