![]() Enzyme silencer for miRNA doi:10.1038/nindia.2009.73; Published online 27 February 2009 ![]() In an easy-to-design technique that could have wide-ranging applications in disease diagnostics and therapeutics, researchers have managed to cripple the activity of a new class of small RNAs — tiny workhorses responsible for gene expression and protein synthesis in our body1. This will further our knowledge of the functions of this class of RNAs — called miRNAs — in disease progression and ultimately in finding new therapeutic targets for treatment. |
