MicroRNA precursor molecule
MicroRNA (miRNA) precursor, molecular model. This miRNA (micro ribonucleic acid) precursor will be further processed into an even shorter mature miRNA oligonucleotide that can regulate the expression of a target gene. The precursor shown here is the human miR-17 stem-loop (hsa-mir-17), which is believed to play a role in several types of breast cancer

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a MicroRNA precursor molecule, specifically the human miR-17 stem-loop (hsa-mir-17). Illuminated against a clean white background, this molecular model represents an essential component in gene regulation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules that play a crucial role in controlling gene expression. The precursor molecule depicted here will undergo further processing to become a mature miRNA oligonucleotide, which can effectively regulate the expression of target genes. The image highlights the complex and elegant structure of this biochemical marvel. Its double helix arrangement resembles the iconic DNA structure but possesses its own unique characteristics. Through magnification, we gain insight into its helical nature and molecular composition. Understanding these micro ribonucleic acids is vital for unraveling their impact on human health. In particular, hsa-mir-17 has been linked to various types of breast cancer, making it an area of intense research and potential therapeutic development. This artwork serves as both a scientific tool and aesthetic masterpiece. It captures the essence of biochemistry by showcasing this large group of objects with precision and artistry. As we delve deeper into our understanding of miRNAs like hsa-mir-17, we unlock new possibilities for advancing medical knowledge and improving human well-being.
