Rapid Generation of MicroRNA Sponges for MicroRNA Inhibition
MicroRNA (miRNA) sponges are transcripts with repeated miRNA antisense sequences that can sequester miRNAs from endogenous targets. MiRNA sponges are valuable tools for miRNA loss-of-function studies both in vitro and in vivo. We developed a fast and flexible method to generate miRNA sponges and tested their efficiency in various assays. Using a single

OncomiR or Tumor Suppressor? The Duplicity of MicroRNAs in Cancer.
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are short, noncoding RNAs whose dysregulation has been implicated in most, if not all, cancers. They regulate gene expression by suppressing mRNA translation and reducing mRNA stability. To this end, there is a great deal of interest in

Sepsis is an insidious and frequent condition of severe inflammation due to infections. Several biomarkers have been established for initial screening, but the non-specific nature of the existing biomarkers has led to the investigation of more sensitive and specific tools, such as microRNAs (miRs). These non-coding RNAs are involved in several diseases,

MicroRNAs in health and disease
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous small non-coding RNAs about 21-25 nucleotides in length and account for 1%-5% of the genome. Ever since its discovery in 1993, these molecules have attracted researchers due to their crucial role in regulating

SummaryCopper (Cu) microRNAs are upregulated by Cu deficiency and mediate the post‐transcriptional downregulation of transcripts that encode Cu proteins, suggesting a role directly related to Cu. However, expression and phenotypic analyses of copper microRNA mutants and over‐expressors have suggested roles mainly in tolerance to abiotic stresses.
