Secreted miRNAs in the tripartite neuromuscular junction
microRNAs are small, non-coding, single-stranded RNAs that can suppress mRNA translation at the posttranscriptional level by binding to imperfect complementary sequences on mRNA targets and then cause their degradation or hinder protein translation ...

Clusters of microRNAs emerge by new hairpins in existing transcripts [PDF]
Genetic linkage may result in the expression of multiple products from a polycistronic transcript, under the control of a single promoter. In animals, protein-coding polycistronic transcripts are rare.

Initial function of microRNAs as a defence mechanism against invading organisms
Background Although microRNA (miRNA) regulation is widely considered as a mechanism to regulate gene expression in metazoans, plants and viruses, there are recent reports that show the interaction between viruses and their mammal hosts via miRNAs ...

Tumor-specific delivery of KRAS siRNA with iRGD-exosomes efficiently inhibits tumor growth
Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Mutant KRAS is a feature of 15–50% of lung cancer cases and represents one of the most prevalent oncogenic drivers in this disease.

In vivo self-assembled siRNA as a modality for combination therapy of ulcerative colitis
Management of ulcerative colitis can require a combination of treatments targeting different pathways. Here the authors design a therapy for ulcerative colitis based on a multitargeted genetic circuit to simultaneously target TNF-α, B7-1 and integrin α4,

MicroRNA-222 regulates muscle alternative splicing through Rbm24 during differentiation of skeletal muscle cells [PDF]
A number of microRNAs have been shown to regulate skeletal muscle development and differentiation. MicroRNA-222 is downregulated during myogenic differentiation and its overexpression leads to alteration of muscle differentiation process and specialized ...
