Throughout a person's lifetime, the cells lining the respiratory tract are exposed to inhaled pollutants, including cigarette smoke. These exposures can cause molecular changes that disrupt normal ...

Researchers show two distinct MECP2 mutations in Rett syndrome elevate miRNA-126-3p, lowering ZO-1 and weakening blood-brain ...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a common cancer in men, requiring accurate diagnosis and monitoring of treatment efficacy for in time revealing and eliminating cancer relapse. Radical prostatectomy is the ...

Neuroscientists discover that Rett syndrome mutations cause a leaky brain via overexpressed miRNA-126-3p, pointing to a new therapeutic target for vascular repair.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in plant gene regulation, with their biogenesis involving complex processes. Fine-tuning miRNAs is a powerful biotechnology strategy that can improve plant ...

MIT researchers have discovered that two common genetic mutations that cause Rett syndrome each set off a molecular chain of events that compromises the structural integrity of developing brain blood ...
