microRNAs biogenesis, functions and role in tumor angiogenesis

T Annese, R Tamma, M De Giorgis, D Ribatti - Frontiers in oncology, 2020 - frontiersin.org
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules, evolutionary conserved. They
target more than one mRNAs, thus influencing multiple molecular pathways, but also …

demonstrating potential roles in both oncogenic and tumor suppressive pathways. These …

Understanding transgenerational epigenetic inheritance via the gametes in mammals

L Daxinger, E Whitelaw - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2012 - nature.com
It is known that information that is not contained in the DNA sequence—epigenetic
information—can be inherited from the parent to the offspring. However, many questions …

Molecular mechanisms of Dicer: endonuclease and enzymatic activity

MS Song, JJ Rossi - Biochemical journal, 2017 - portlandpress.com
