Telomerase Mutations in Families with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that mutations in the genes encoding telomerase components can appear as familial idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which is a rare hereditary disorder associated with premature death from aplastic anemia and lung fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short telomeres are a risk factor for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

TL;DR: Short telomeres are a signature in IIPs and likely play a role in their age-related onset, and the clustering of cryptogenic liver cirrhosis with IPF suggests that the telomere shortening can contribute to what appears clinically as idiopathic progressive organ failure in the lung and the liver.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mammalian 5′-Capped MicroRNA Precursors that Generate a Single MicroRNA

TL;DR: This unusual miRNA biogenesis pathway, which differs in pre-miRNA synthesis, nuclear-cytoplasmic transport, and guide strand selection, enables the development of shRNA expression constructs that produce a single 3p-siRNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Viral noncoding RNAs: more surprises

TL;DR: This review focuses on the multitude of functions played by ncRNAs produced by animal viruses, and discusses their biogenesis and mechanisms of action.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Primate Herpesvirus Uses the Integrator Complex to Generate Viral MicroRNAs

TL;DR: Deep sequencing identified six HVS microRNAs (miRNAs) that are derived from three hairpin structures located immediately downstream of the 3' end processing signals of three of the HSURs that are linked by identifying chimeric HSUR-pre-miRNA transcripts.
