Emerging Roles for Natural MicroRNA Sponges

Recently, a non-coding RNA expressed from a human pseudogene was reported to regulate the corresponding protein-coding mRNA by acting as a decoy for microRNAs (miRNAs) that bind to common sites in the 3′ untranslated regions (UTRs). It was proposed that competing for miRNAs might be a general activi...
