Micro RNA:short-stranded noncoding RNAs play an important role in gene regulation——A profile of the results of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to American scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their outstanding contributions to the field of"the discovery of microRNAs and their role in post-transcriptional gene regulation".The two scientists discovered the first microRNA in the cryptobiotic nematode cryptomeria japonica and investigated its biological function in gene regulation,paving the way for subsequent research on microRNAs.
