  • microRNAs

    This collection of recent papers from Nature and other NPG journals highlights developments in microRNA biology and effects on gene regulation. As the first microRNA-based drug achieves human proof-of-concept, the potential for creating powerful medicines targeting microRNAs becomes a reality. These papers further link microRNA dysregulation to disease pathogenesis and may provide new targets for the treatment of diabetes and obesity, vascular diseases and cancer therapies.
