Now a new study, published in the journal Frontiers in Veterinary Science, indicates that molecules found in bamboo may be ...

They hope the discovery can help scientists further understand the effect of plant miRNA on animals, potentially paving the way for the treatment or prevention of diseases, according to the study.

The mRNA targets of miRNA can be determined by using bioinformatics methods and bioassays for monitoring the amounts of target mRNA. In plants, miRNA binding sites are usually found in the coding ...
