miRNAs control gene expression by blocking translation of mRNA into the protein.

miRNA: What It Is and How It Works

miRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression. They are important for healthy aging, longevity, metabolic health, and immune function.

SIRT3, Aging, and Mitochondrial Function

How we age is just as important as how long we live. Examine how sirtuins play a part in the aging process by how they regulate our cellular health.

New research on FTO gene variants, FTO and heart disease, viral susceptibility

FTO and m6A Methylation

Recently, researchers discovered that FTO is an m6A eraser that removes methyl groups from mRNA. This discovery has opened up huge avenues of research on topics from cancer to immune response to heart disease.
