Small RNA zippers lock miRNA molecules and block miRNA function in mammalian cells

Small RNA zippers lock miRNA molecules and block miRNA function in mammalian cells

MicroRNAs regulate a wide range of biological processes and being able to inhibit their function could allow the development of therapeutic options. Here the authors describe a ‘small RNA zipper’ that sequesters miRNAs by forming a chain of DNA:RNA duplexes.
