In this Q&A with #NobelPrize recipient Victor R. Ambros, PhD, writer Patrick Boyle comments, “While the science behind the discovery of #microRNA is remarkable, also remarkable is what the discovery illustrates about the importance of basic science research.” direc.to/mEkL @aamctoday.bsky.social
Nobel laureate: Basic science research is critical for medical progress
Victor Ambros, PhD, co-winner of the 2024 prize in medicine, says public support and scientific fellowship fueled discovery of an RNA that regulates genes.

Researchers are exploring how targeting 'zombie' cells—senescent cells that stop dividing but refuse to die—could slow down aging and combat age-related diseases. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/he...

Can targeting 'zombie' cells really slow down ageing?
Zombie cells are a hot topic in the scientific community, with groundbreaking research being conducted worldwide to find ways to halt their damaging and inflammatory effects

What is the myRIAD project?
This project aims to discover biomarkers, to comprehensively investigate circulating #miRs and #oxi-miRs within extracellular vesicle profiles in the context of #biomarkers and pathogenic processes underlying #neurodegeneration.
