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 ...
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 ...
