Scientists discovered that bamboo's miRNA enters giant pandas' blood, influencing their feeding habits and taste perception.

Despite their carnivorous digestive systems, giant pandas thrive on bamboo, and now scientists may have uncovered a key ...

The vivid wing patterns of butterflies, once attributed to a gene, are now traced to an overlooked microRNA.

Tiny scraps of genetic material from bamboo might influence the genes of pandas, helping them adapt to a mostly bamboo diet.

miRNAs are being intensively studied as regulators of gene expression, potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers. Hence, the need for effective, easy-to-use tools for miRNA analysis is steadily ...

Giant pandas have digestive systems that are typical for carnivores. Yet, bamboo is their main source of food. They have ...

Here we describe a new array system (miRCURY TM LNA Array) for global microRNA (miRNA) profiling of biological samples. The miRCURY LNA Array system uses locked nucleic acid (LNA TM), a high ...

Learn more about how miRNA may have regulated the gene expression in pandas, helping them adapt to eating more plants.

In a new study, researchers investigated microRNA-203 as a potential biomarker for lupus nephritis (LN) and found that ...

The evaluated study examined the miRNA profiles in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from PDAC patients. The theory is that circulating blood cells monitor the patients' physiological state and ...

Giant pandas don't eat meat because chemicals in the bamboo they chomp on changing their tastes, suggests new research.
