MicroRNAs and Malaria - A Dynamic Interaction Still Incompletely Understood.
TLDR
The role of microRNA in the pathogenesis of severe malaria remains incompletely understood, hindering our ability to treat this disease as discussed by the authors, and the role of small, non-coding RNAs play in the progression, pathogenesis, and resistance to, malaria.Abstract:
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by parasitic protozoa of the genus Plasmodium. It remains a major problem affecting humans today, especially children. However, the pathogenesis of malaria, especially severe malaria, remains incompletely understood, hindering our ability to treat this disease. Of recent interest is the role that small, non-coding RNAs play in the progression, pathogenesis of, and resistance to, malaria. Independent studies have now revealed the presence of microRNA (miRNA) in the malaria parasite, vector, and host, though these studies are relatively few. Here, we review these studies, focusing on the roles specific miRNA have in the disease, and how they may be harnessed for therapeutic purposes.read more

Antiviral Immunity Directed by Small RNAs
Shou-Wei Ding,Olivier Voinnet +1 more
TL;DR: The proteins required for viRNA production as well as several key downstream components of the antiviral immunity pathway have been identified in plants, flies, and worms, illuminating an ongoing molecular arms race that likely impacts the evolution of both viral and host genomes.

Circulating microRNAs, potential biomarkers for drug-induced liver injury

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that specific microRNA species, such as mir-122 and mir-192, both are enriched in the liver tissue and exhibit dose- and exposure duration-dependent changes in the plasma that parallel serum aminotransferase levels and the histopathology of liver degeneration, but their changes can be detected significantly earlier.

TL;DR: It is observed posttranscriptional gene silencing through translational repression of messenger RNA during sexual development, and a 47-base 3′ untranslated region motif is implicated in this process.

The Liver as a Lymphoid Organ
TL;DR: The liver receives blood from both the systemic circulation and the intestine, and in distinctive, thin-walled sinusoids this mixture passes over a large macrophage population, termed Kupffer cells, which has resulted in a distinctive local immune environment.
