Although it is now known that miRNAs act in part via post-transcriptional effects on mRNA stability and/or translation to modulate gene expression, other molecular mechanisms by which non-coding RNAs may effect changes in mRNA and protein expression remains poorly elucidated. Project...

Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive brain cancers, with very few treatment options and a poor survival rate. Project Overview Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive brain cancers, with very few treatment options and a poor survival rate. Current treatments, like surgery, chemotherapy,...

Background: As we age, our blood vessels (“vasculature”) can become damaged, leading to a lack of oxygen and nutrients being supplied to the brain.
