Показать описание
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their groundbreaking discovery of microRNA (miRNA) and its crucial role in gene regulation.
MicroRNA (miRNA) is a small, non-coding RNA molecule, typically 21-23 nucleotides long. Unlike mRNA, miRNA does not code for proteins. Instead, it regulates gene expression by binding to complementary sequences on mRNA molecules, leading to their degradation or inhibition of translation. This regulatory function is crucial for controlling various cellular processes.
