Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2018 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous RNAs that regulate gene-expression posttranscriptionally. MiRNA research in allergy is expanding because miRNAs are crucial regulators of gene expression and promising candidates for biomarker development.

MicroRNA: MicroRNAs Reach out into Dendrites [PDF]
Current Biology, 2006 A recent study has shown that miR-134, a brain-specific microRNA, is present in dendrites where it represses the local synthesis of the protein kinase LimK1; this is a novel form of translational regulation in dendrites and may have important physiological implications.

MicroRNA or Not MicroRNA? [PDF]
, 2011 The avalanche of next generation sequencing data has led to a rapid increase of annotated microRNAs in the last few years. Many of them are specific to individual species or rather narrow clades. A closer inspection of the current version of miRBase shows that dozens of entries conflict with other ncRNAs, in particular snoRNAs.With few exceptions ...

Modulation of microRNA Activity by Semi-microRNAs [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2012 The ribonuclease Dicer plays a central role in the microRNA pathway by catalyzing the formation of 19-24-nucleotide (nt) long microRNAs. Subsequently incorporated into Argonaute 2 (Ago2) effector complexes, microRNAs are known to regulate messenger RNA (mRNA) translation.

Regulation of Cardiac MicroRNAs by Cardiac MicroRNAs [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2013 Rationale: MicroRNAs modestly suppress their direct mRNA targets, and these direct effects are amplified by modulation of gene transcription pathways. Consequently, indirect mRNA modulatory effects of microRNAs to increase or decrease mRNAs greatly outnumber direct target suppressions.

Annual Review of Pathology: Mechanisms of Disease, 2014 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that typically inhibit the translation and stability of messenger RNAs (mRNAs), controlling genes involved in cellular processes such as inflammation, cell-cycle regulation, stress response, differentiation, apoptosis, and migration.

MicroRNAs and Metastasis [PDF]
Cancers, 2019 Metastasis, the development of secondary malignant growths at a distance from the primary site of a cancer, is associated with almost 90% of all cancer deaths, and half of all cancer patients present with some form of metastasis at the time of diagnosis. Consequently, there is a clear clinical need for a better understanding of metastasis.

MicroRNAs in the Hypothalamus [PDF]
Neuroendocrinology, 2013 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short (∼22 nucleotides) non-coding ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules that negatively regulate the expression of protein-coding genes. Posttranscriptional silencing of target genes by miRNA is initiated by binding to the 3′-untranslated regions of target mRNAs, resulting in specific cleavage and subsequent degradation of the mRNA ...

Nucleic Acids Research, 2004 The miRNA Registry provides a service for the assignment of miRNA gene names prior to publication. A comprehensive and searchable database of published miRNA sequences is accessible via a web interface (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Rfam/mirna/), and all sequence and annotation data are freely available for download.

Molecular Oncology, 2012 With the advent of next generation sequencing techniques a previously unknown world of non‐coding RNA molecules have been discovered. Non‐coding RNA transcripts likely outnumber the group of protein coding sequences and hold promise of many new discoveries and mechanistic explanations for essential biological phenomena and pathologies.
