Study how miRNAs regulate Stem cell homeostasis and differentiation
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
New hope for Ras inhibitors
Ras belongs to the family of small G-proteins and plays an important role in several signal transduction pathways involved in normal cell growth and differentiation. Over 30 years ago three isoforms of
microRNAs: Keys to open cell biology’s secret chamber
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
microRNAs: Finding the effector - miRNA detection
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
microRNAs: Push and observe - miRNA overexpression
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
microRNAs: Inhibiting the inhibitors - Antagomirs
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
