The Drosophila miRNA-encoding gene bantam controls cell and tissue growth. A new study now reveals that a large part of its effects on growth could come from its inhibition of the production of the molting hormone ecdysone.
果蝇的 miRNA 编码基因 bantam 控制着细胞和组织的生长。一项新的研究现在揭示,它对生长的影响很大一部分可能来自于它抑制蜕皮激素ecdysone 的产生。
