These are produced from longer dsRNA by the cellular type III endoRNase Dicer. One strand or both strands of the siRNA become(s) incorporated into a large protein complex known as the 'RNA-induced ...

DICER, and RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) complex. Sixfold applied this to the extracellular space, hypothesizing that modifications are dictating the delivery mechanism and destination by ...

Researchers at HSE University and the RAS Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry have discovered that a common method of studying ...

This is a natural process for the cell. However, the sequence of miRNAs formed as a result depends on how accurately the Dicer enzyme cleaves the precursor molecule. The authors of the paper ...
