UT Southwestern researchers have discovered a mechanism that cells use to degrade microRNAs (miRNAs), genetic molecules that regulate the amounts of proteins in cells.
The findings, reported online today in Science, not only shed light on the inner workings of cells but could eventually lead to new ways to fight infectious diseases, cancer, and a bevy of other health problems.
Scientists have long known that genes contain the instructions for making every protein in an organism’s body. However,…
