Cardiovascular disease is among the leading causes of death in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The role that microRNA 210 (miR-210) plays in endothelial cells and in diabetes-driven endothelial dysfunction is not clearly understood. Its potential as a therapeutic target was investigated.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) recurs in most patients despite the aggressive therapies they receive. Novel advances allow the development of targeted therapies to treat tumors of the brain. Researchers from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine have applied bioinformatics plus forward thinking on microRNA biology to advance targeted therapies for GBM.
Research into the regulation of gene expression experienced a significant breakthrough with the discovery of microRNA, small RNA molecules that do not code for proteins but control their translation. This finding has earned its discoverers – Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun – the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.”

Aging is part of the life cycle and, although the effects are not manifest until after adulthood, it actually occurs from birth. The concept of senescence has traditionally been associated with aging. However, an embryo has senescent cells. In that case, what is aging, how can it be measured, and from what point in the life cycle?
