#microRNA #miRNA #nobel The 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology has been awarded to Victor Ambròs and Gary Rùvkun for the discovery of microRNA (often abbreviated to miRNA). But what are these microRNAs and why did they earn a Nobel Prize? What are microRNAs and why have they changed our understanding of biology? In this video, we delve into the revolutionary discovery that led to the 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine for Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun. MicroRNAs are small molecules that act as key regulators of genes, influencing growth, development and even diseases such as cancer. Discover what mircroRNAs (micro RNAs) are for and how these invisible but powerful molecules are transforming the future of medicine and genetics, opening up new avenues in diagnosis and therapy. 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Hello person! ☕ If you like these videos and want to support DNA a colazione you can join the Laboratory (Tipeee) https://it.tipeee.com/colazione/ ????INSTAGRAM: / dna_a_colazione 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 SOURCES: MicroRNAs in action: biogenesis, function and regulation (Renfu Shang et al., 2023) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37380...
