The Function of miRNAs in Plants

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small RNAs (sRNAs) that repress gene expression via high complementary binding sites in target mRNAs (messenger RNAs).Many miRNAs are ancient, and their intricate integration into gene expression programs have been fundamental for plant life, controlling developmental programs and executing responses what is quadru

Implications of zonal architecture on differential gene expression profiling and altered pathway expressions in mandibular condylar cartilage

Abstract Mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) is a multi-zonal heterogeneous fibrocartilage containing different types of cells, but the factors/mechanisms governing the phenotypic transition across the zones have not been fully understood.The reliability of molecular studies heavily rely on the procurement of pure cell populations from the heteroge
