RNA interference (RNAi) is a recently discovered mechanism that cells use to prevent such outcomes by interfering with protein synthesis. The RNAi mechanism is activated by the presence of double ...

When a virus attacks the cell's genome, it carries a double-stranded form of RNA that enters the cell. A newly discovered cellular mechanism called RNA interference, or RNAi, recognizes this ...

The second stage of RNAi mechanism involves guide strand (duplex of siRNA and miRNA) incorporation. Guide strands are single strand duplexes of the miRNA and siRNA, and are integrated into ...

Researchers have revealed the molecular mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi), the phenomenon by which the synthesis of a specific protein is inhibited, by real time observation of target RNA ...

The expression of symptoms of viral infections is a byproduct of complex virus-host molecular pathways. These remain largely ...

A novel mechanism of RNA regulation in embryonic stem cells ... ability to place m6A become stuck in a sort of suspended animation, even though they appear healthy. Yi Xing, a UCLA associate ...

View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi ...

Rzs and Dz are also being explored as additional mechanisms for gene silencing in many viruses including influenza and have shown their potential in controlling these viruses. Although ...

University of Maryland scientists used microscopic roundworms as a model to investigate the mechanisms behind RNAi and how they can be optimized for medical use in humans. The team published its ...

"We assume that a previously hidden human RNA repair mechanism underlies this biological function of C12orf29. We now need to examine this mechanism in further studies," Marx says. More ...
