In vivo AGO-APP identifies a module of microRNAs cooperatively preserving neural progenitors
Author summary MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that silence messenger RNAs (mRNAs) by binding to partially complementary sequences. They play a crucial role in cell type specification during develop...

New lab paper out! 😀
We describe a new benchtop technique to isolate microRNAs from various cell types in a complex tissue (like the developing CNS). This is a fruitful collab with the Cremer lab from @ibdm.bsky.social journals.plos.org/plosgenetics... 1/n 🧵
