  • In it, two strands, composed of sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate molecules, are connected by pairs of four molecules called bases, which form the steps of the staircase. (msdmanuals.com)
  • To validate our RNA-Sequencing data, we will perform metabolic profiling upon KDM depletion. (ntu.ac.uk)
  • Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease of bone characterized by low bone mass, micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue and, consequently, increased bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures. (scienceinpoland.pl)
  • The sugar molecule has a central position in the nucleotide, with the base attached to one of its carbons and the phosphate group (or groups) attached to another. (khanacademy.org)
  • Dr. Muneesh Tewari's project is on the cutting edge of a new technology whereby diagnosis, prognosis and optimal prostate-cancer treatment strategy might be determined by analysis of circulating microRNAs. (fredhutch.org)
  • In the present study, we will combine pathway- and network-based methods to decipher the regulatory action of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 in prostate cancer cells on mRNA and microRNA level. (biomedcentral.com)

  • For example, certain microRNA are present in cancer cells but absent in healthy cells. (udel.edu)
  • The group calculated how nucleotides should be arranged to activate the cancer prodrug in the presence of cancer microRNA, but stay inactive and non-toxic in a non-cancerous environment where the microRNA are missing. (udel.edu)
  • When the cancer microRNAs were present and able to turn the DNA circuit on, cells were unable to grow. (udel.edu)
