A Role for Dicer in Aging and Stress Survival [PDF]
Cell Metabolism, 2012 The link between aging and stress resistance is well established, but the nature of this relationship and which mechanisms are shared is still unknown. Mori et al. (2012) demonstrate that microRNA processing, specifically in adipose tissues, is a major component in aging and stress survival.

High‐Resolution Electron‐Beam Poling of X‐Cut Lithium Niobate Thin Films
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.A new periodic poling technique using electron beams to create stable, high‐quality ferroelectric patterns is developed in x‐cut thin‐film lithium niobate (TFLN). The method works at room temperature with both standard and MgO‐doped materials, affords ferroelectric domain pitches as small as 375 nm, and lends itself to seamless integration with state ...

Control of chicken CR1 retrotransposons is independent of Dicer-mediated RNA interference pathway
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Dicer is an RNase III-ribonuclease that initiates the formation of small interfering RNAs as a defence against genomic parasites such as retrotransposons.

Nucleic Acids Research, 2015 There is increasing evidence indicating that the production of small regulatory RNAs is not the only process in which ribonuclease Dicer can participate. For example, it has been demonstrated that this enzyme is also involved in chromatin structure remodelling, inflammation and apoptotic DNA degradation.

Precision‐Engineered Plasmonic Nanostar Arrays for High‐Performance SERS Sensing
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Highly ordered and dose‐controlled arrays of gold nanodiscs are created using the dots‐on‐the‐fly EBL technique and subsequently converted into nanostar arrays. This technique unlocks the reproducible and robust fabrication of highly efficient SERS substrates. Abstract Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool

Molecular OncologyEndoribonuclease DICER is an RNase III enzyme that mainly processes microRNAs in the cytoplasm but also participates in nuclear functions such as chromatin remodelling, epigenetic modification and DNA damage repair. The expression of nuclear DICER is low

Key Enzymes and Proteins of Crop Insects as Candidate for RNAi Based Gene Silencing
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 RNA interference (RNAi) is a mechanism of homology dependent gene silencing present in plants and animals. It operates through 21-24 nucleotides small RNAs which are processed through a set of core enzymatic machinery that involves Dicer and Argonaute ...

Illuminating Quantum Phenomena in 2D Materials: The Power of Optical Spectroscopy
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Atomically thin 2D materials host quantum tunnelling, plasmonic and excitonic phenomena driven by reduced dimensionality and strong many‐body interactions. This review links these effects to state‐of‐the‐art optical probes—NSOM, pump–probe, CARS, TRR, and optical frequency comb spectroscopy—highlighting how their ultrahigh spatial–temporal resolution ...

Modulation of microRNA activity by semi-microRNAs (smiRNAs)
Frontiers in Genetics, 2012 The ribonuclease Dicer plays a central role in the microRNA pathway by catalyzing the formation of 19 to 24-nucleotide (nt) long microRNAs. Subsequently incorporated into Ago2 effector complexes, microRNAs are known to regulate messenger RNA (mRNA ...
