    The research addresses the mechanism(s) by which cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protects the cardiovascular system. COX-2 is an enzyme located within discreet regions including the kidney, brain, gut, lungs, thymus and some areas of vascular endothelium. In one or more of these regions COX-2 activity protects the cardiovascular system from hypertensions,...

    Gene expression starts with transcription, the step when RNA is synthesised. In all biological systems, the post-transcriptional regulation of RNA allows enormous regulatory flexibility and diversity in gene expression. In bacteria, small non-coding regulatory RNA molecules (sRNAs) play a pivotal role in post-transcriptional regulation of messenger RNA...
