MicroRNAmediated
microRNAmediated refers to biological processes that are regulated by microRNAs, which are small non-coding RNA molecules. These molecules play a crucial role in gene expression regulation by binding to complementary sequences in messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules. This binding can lead to either the degradation of the mRNA or the inhibition of its translation into protein, effectively silencing gene expression. The term microRNAmediated is used to describe any cellular function, pathway, or disease state that is influenced or controlled by this post-transcriptional gene silencing mechanism. For example, microRNAmediated regulation is essential for cellular differentiation, development, apoptosis, and immune responses. Dysregulation of microRNAmediated pathways has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurological conditions. Research into microRNAmediated processes is a rapidly growing field, with potential applications in diagnostics and therapeutics.
