Molecular Mechanisms and Biological Functions of siRNA
One of the most important advances in biology has been the discovery that siRNA (small interfering RNA) is able to regulate the expression of genes, by a phenomenon known as RNAi (RNA interference). The discovery of RNAi, first in plants and Caenorhabditis elegans and later in mammalian cells, led to the emergence of a transformative view in biomedical research. siRNA has gained attention as a ...
متن کاملKisspeptin and Cancer: Molecular Interaction, Biological Functions, and Future Perspectives
Cancer disease is the second leading cause of death in the world and one of the main fields of medical research. Although there is now a greater understanding of biological mechanisms of uncontrolled cell growth, invasiveness and metastasization, the multistep process of cancer development and evolution is still incompletely understood. The inhibition of molecules activated in cancer metastasiz...
متن کاملMolecular recognition in biological systems: from activation to inhibition.
A fine-tuned system of molecular recognition is a fundamental feature of all biological processes. Although the basic principles of how molecular surfaces fit together in a complementary fashion have been established to a first approximation, the details of the interplay between electrostatic, steric, entropic and solvation effects are not well understood. To provide insight into the stereochem...
متن کاملDescartes ’ Mechanism and Biological Functions
The “new mechanical philosophy” takes its inspiration from biology and simultaneously traces its origin to René Descartes. It pays little attention to Descartes’ mechanistic biology, however, which, admittedly, even most historians of philosophy and science mistakenly treat as a straightforward extension of Descartes’ attempt to explain natural phenomena in terms of shapes and movement of parts...
متن کاملBiomechanical Action and Biological Functions
The main biological function of reaction wood is to act as “muscle” for trees, enabling them to control their posture. The key property to achieve this function is the development of high mechanical stress during the formation of reaction wood cells, called “maturation strains”. Actually, reaction wood formation is basically the asymmetric formation of wood around the tree circumference, with h...
