MicroRNAs in Endothelial Development and Differentiation

MicroRNAs in Endothelial Development and Differentiation

Endothelial integrity or homeostasis is not only essential for regulating arterial activity and vascular tone under physiological conditions, but also critical for triggering various cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis and balloon angioplasty if such a balance has been impaired. Moreover, endothelial cell development and differentiation are key steps during embryogenesis and invol...

MicroRNAs and hematopoietic differentiation.

The discovery of microRNAS (miRNAs) and of their mechanism of action has provided some very new clues on how gene expression is regulated. These studies established new concepts on how posttranscriptional control can fine-tune gene expression during differentiation and allowed the identification of new regulatory circuitries as well as factors involved therein. Because of the wealth of informat...

MicroRNAs in oligodendrocyte and Schwann cell differentiation.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small (approx. 22 nt) noncoding RNAs that are capable of post-transcriptionally silencing mRNAs that contain sequences complementary to the miRNAs' 7- to 8-bp 'seed' sequence. As single miRNAs are often predicted to target up to hundreds of individual transcripts, miRNAs are able to broadly affect the overall protein expression state of the cell. This can trans...
