MicroRNA

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous RNAs that regulate gene-expression post-transcriptionally. MiRNA research in allergy is expanding because miRNAs are crucial regulators of gene expression and promising candidates for biomarker development. MiRNA mimics and miRNA inhibitors currently in preclinical development have shown promise as novel therapeutic agents. Multiple technological platforms have been developed for miRNA isolation, miRNA quantitation, miRNA profiling, miRNA target detection and for modulating miRNA levels in vitro and in vivo.
