Structure - Functions Relations in Small Interfering RNAs

, 2013
RNA interference is an evolutionary conserved mechanism of specific gene silencing induced by double stranded RNA homologous to the target mRNA. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are widely used for the control of gene expression in molecular biology and experimental pharmacology.

RiNALMo: General-Purpose RNA Language Models Can Generalize Well on Structure Prediction Tasks [PDF]

arXiv
While RNA has recently been recognized as an interesting small-molecule drug target, many challenges remain to be addressed before we take full advantage of it. This emphasizes the necessity to improve our understanding of its structures and functions. Over the years, sequencing technologies have produced an enormous amount of unlabeled RNA data, which

Protein‐Like Polymers Targeting Keap1/Nrf2 as Therapeutics for Myocardial Infarction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We describe a Keap1 targeting protein‐like polymer (PLP) which activates Nrf2, an important cytoprotective transcription factor for relieving myocardial infarction‐induced oxidative stress. This PLP increases cell survival in vitro in multiple relevant cardiac cell types and elicits pro‐reparative responses, improving cardiac function in a preclinical ...
