MicroRNA Research: From Discovery to 2024 Nobel Prize
MicroRNA research has emerged as a transformative field in molecular biology, revealing intricate mechanisms of gene regulation that were once shrouded in mystery.Pioneered by Nobel laureate Gary Ruvkun and his colleague Victor Ambros in the early 1990s, this area of study has illuminated the crucial role microRNAs play in various biological processes, particularly in organisms like *C.
