Autophagy-related microRNA-mediated disease treatment (1)

Nanomaterials for Autophagy-Related miRNA-34a Delivery in Cancer Treatment Indexed on PubMed 8/16/20 This article is part of the Research Topic Novel Cancer Treatments based on Autophagy Modulation View all 11 Articles  1)  “…understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling autophagy…is still far from being elucidated.” That is a lie. Good questions lead towards understanding. Question: How […]

The microRNA-mediated future of humanity (6)

Olfactory specificity regulates lipid metabolism through neuroendocrine signaling in Caenorhabditis elegans3/19/20 Optogenetic activation or inhibition of the responsible olfactory neural circuit promotes the loss or gain of fat storage, respectively. To investigate the endocrine factors that mediate the communication between the olfactory neural circuit and the fat storage tissue, we focused on neuropeptides that are […]

The microRNA-mediated future of humanity (3)

Light-activated microRNA biogenesis has been linked from the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction to healthy longevity via protection from the virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA in all living genera. On 4/21/20 that fact was misrepresented as: Coronavirus has mutated into at least 30 different strains, Chinese study finds. The report was based on this non-peer-reviewed paper […]

The tipping point (revisited): 100K (2)

See first: The tipping point (revisited): 100K (1) 3/30/20 Excerpts: MicroRNA Involvement in Signaling Pathways During Viral Infection 3/10/20 MicroRNAs organize intrinsic variation into stem cell states 3/5/20 …naturally arising cell-to-cell variation, sometimes described as stochastic fluctuation, is in fact coherently organized biology. Moving forward: Why do dozens of diseases wax and wane with the […]

Preprints obfuscate facts (3)

See: Preprints obfuscate facts (1) from RNA-mediated.com and Preprints obfuscate facts (2) from MicroRNA.pro Photoperiod-dependent expression of MicroRNA in Drosophila (11/6/18) is one of 2173 search results for “microRNA” at @biorxivpreprints. All results can be compared to >83,500 published works from this PubMed search for microRNA The PubMed search links the energy-dependent creation of achiral […]

Autophagy automagically prevents cancer (2)

Study suggests how high blood pressure might contribute to Alzheimer’s 1/28/19, and this report on another article from the same issue of  Nature Communications on 11/19/18 was also reported on 1/28/19 as New knowledge about the interactions of messenger RNAs and micro-RNAs during brain development …imbalance between cell types… can lead to this disease… and… […]

Autophagy automagically prevents cancer (1)

microRNA + autophagy See items 1-1088 See also: MicroRNA.pro Autophagic cell death restricts chromosomal instability during replicative crisis 1/23/19 …autophagy is an integral component of the tumour suppressive crisis mechanism and that loss of autophagy function is required for the initiation of cancer. Reported as: In surprising reversal, scientists find a cellular process that stops […]

The tipping point (revisited): 68,000 publications

MicroRNA  Items: 1 to 20 of 68011 (earlier today, on 12/21/17) See for example: In Vitro Validation of miRNA-Mediated Gene Expression Linked to Drug Metabolism 12/20/17 The approaches described can be employed broadly for the validation of miRNA-mediated negative regulation of any gene. Determining miRNA-mediated regulation of enzymes and transporters affecting drug metabolism is a critical […]
