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]
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]
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 ...

The Effect of Composol Medium on miR-16 Expression during Platelet Storage up to Day 7 at Room Temperature [PDF]
Objective: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, noncoding RNAs that play vital roles in gene regulation. It has been shown that storage has an effect on platelet miRNAs.

MicroRNAs in Neurotoxicity [PDF]
MicroRNAs are gaining importance as regulators of gene expression with the capability to fine-tune and modulate cellular events. The complex network with their selective targets (mRNAs/genes) pave way for regulation of many physiological processes.

Identification of copper (Cu) stress-responsive grapevine microRNAs and their target genes by high-throughput sequencing [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of single-stranded non-coding small RNAs (sRNAs) that are 20–24 nucleotides (nt) in length. Extensive studies have indicated that miRNAs play important roles in plant growth, development and stress responses.

MicroRNAs in Development [PDF]
Over 10 years ago, the lab of Victor Ambros cloned an unusual gene,lin-4, which encodes two small RNA transcripts[1]. In the past few years, hundreds more of these tiny transcripts, termed microRNAs (miRNAs), have been uncovered in over a dozen species.

Modulation of microRNA Activity by Semi-microRNAs [PDF]
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.

Preliminary evidence supports circulating microRNAs as prognostic biomarkers for type 2 diabetes. [PDF]
Background:Circulating microRNAs are emerging as potential prognostic biomarkers for the development of type 2 diabetes. However, microRNAs are also associated with complications from impaired glucose metabolism (e.g. endothelial cell function).
