Tiny Regulators, Big Influence: The MicroRNA Story

Meet microRNAs, the 21–23 nucleotide RNAs that fine-tune gene expression across plants, animals, and even viruses. We trace their origin—from LIN-4 and LET-7 in C. elegans to their crucial roles in human health—then walk through their production, how they silence target mRNAs, and why they're tied to heart disease, cancer, and addiction. Join us as we explore why these tiny regulators could redefine therapies and our understanding of biology.
