Act

In 1993, Ambros and his group reported the first microRNA (a gene product of lin-4 ), which plays an important role in the development of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans . It later became clear that non-coding RNA of this class also occur in higher organisms and play an important role in gene regulation . Ambros' current work deals with the micro-RNA-mediated regulations in the development of animals (including fruit flies ) and in various human diseases.
