Journal ArticleDOI

The RNaseIII enzyme Dicer is required for morphogenesis but not patterning of the vertebrate limb

TL;DR: Using transgenes to drive Cre expression in discrete regions of the limb mesoderm, it is found that removal of Dicer results in the loss of processed miRNAs, and Dicer is required for the formation of normal mouse limbs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Canalization of development by microRNAs.

TL;DR: It is suggested that miRNA interactions with the network of protein-coding genes evolved to buffer stochastic perturbations and thereby confer robustness to developmental genetic programs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide Analyses Identify KIF5A as a Novel ALS Gene.

Aude Nicolas, +435 more
- 21 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: Interestingly, mutations predominantly in the N-terminal motor domain of KIF5A are causative for two neurodegenerative diseases: hereditary spastic paraplegia and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determinants of targeting by endogenous and exogenous microRNAs and siRNAs.

TL;DR: The results enable improved siRNA off-target prediction, allow integrated ranking of conserved and nonconserved miRNA targets, and show that targeting by endogenous and exogenous miRNAs/siRNAs involves similar or identical determinants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Embryonic Stem Cells and Their Differentiated Derivatives Are Less Susceptible to Immune Rejection Than Adult Cells

TL;DR: The data suggest that the immunostimulatory capacity of the cells is very low, and immunosuppressive regimens for hESC‐based therapeutics could be highly reduced compared with conventional organ transplantation because direct allorejection processes of hESCs and their derivatives are considerably weaker.
