miRNA microarray analysis
miRNA microarray analysis is a hybridization-based method that measures microRNA abundance in cells or tissues using fluorescently labeled miRNAs and thousands of immobilized complementary probes.
miRNA target prediction
miRNA target prediction is the set of computational methods that predict which messenger RNAs are regulated by microRNAs, mostly by searching for seed-region pairing and scoring candidate sites.
miRNA target recognition and repression mechanisms
miRNA target recognition and repression is the process by which microRNAs use a short seed sequence to find matching sites in messenger RNAs and repress protein production.
miRNAs in cellular senescence and aging
MicroRNAs regulate cellular senescence, the stable arrest program that stressed or aged cells enter, acting both upstream and downstream of p53, p16, and p21; miR-605 converts the p53–Mdm2 loop into a positive one.
miRNAs in neuronal regulation
miRNAs in neuronal regulation is the study of how microRNAs control neurons: miR-124 makes up 25 to 48% of brain miRNAs and drives the PTBP1-PTBP2 differentiation switch.
Mirogabalin
Mirogabalin (Tarlige, DS-5565) is a Daiichi Sankyo gabapentinoid α2δ calcium-channel ligand approved in Japan and other Asian countries for neuropathic pain, with slower α2δ-1 dissociation than pregabalin.
Miroslav Radman
Miroslav Radman, born 1944 in Split, Croatia, is a Croatian-French geneticist who discovered the SOS response, codiscovered DNA mismatch repair, and explained radiation resistance in Deinococcus radiodurans.
Mirror neuron
Mirror neurons, discovered by Rizzolatti's Parma group in macaque area F5, fire both when an animal performs and observes an action; their proposed role in action understanding is heavily contested.
MIRROR study
MIRROR (Mirikizumab Real World Protocol; MIrikizumab in UC - a Real-woRld prOspective multicenteR Registry, NCT06696014) is an observational patient registry sponsored by the University of North Carolina with Eli Lilly, following about 100 adults with ulcerative colitis starting mirikizumab in routine care, with one-year online bowel-habit surveys at nine US and Canadian sites.
Mirror test
Mirror test (mark test, MSR test): behavioral procedure from Gordon Gallup Jr.'s 1970 chimpanzee experiments assessing visual self-recognition via a mirror-only mark; passed by great apes and human toddlers, contested elsewhere.
Mirror therapy
Mirror therapy is a rehabilitation technique in which a mirror reflects movements of an unaffected limb, developed for phantom limb pain in 1996 and extended to stroke rehabilitation.
Mirror-image polydactyly
Mirror-image polydactyly (mirror foot, mirror hand, ulnar dimelia) is a rare congenital limb malformation with more than five digits arranged symmetrically around an anterior/posterior axis, usually autosomal dominant, linked to ectopic sonic hedgehog signaling and PITX1 deletions.
Mirror-touch synesthesia
Mirror-touch synesthesia is a synesthesia variant in which seeing another person touched produces a felt touch on one's own body; prevalence about 1.6%, explained by threshold and self-other theories, and linked variably to empathy.
Mirtazapine
Mirtazapine (Remeron) is a tetracyclic NaSSA antidepressant approved in the U.S. in 1996; it blocks α2, 5-HT2/5-HT3, and H1 receptors, causing sedation and weight gain, with faster onset than SSRIs.
MIRTPD trial
MIRTPD (NCT07012408) is a double-blind randomized controlled trial by Universitat de les Illes Balears comparing progressive versus regressive return-to-play program design after MRI-diagnosed muscle injury in male football players, N=74, started September 2025.
Mirvetuximab soravtansine
Mirvetuximab soravtansine (Elahere, IMGN853) is a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate targeting folate receptor alpha, approved for FRα-positive, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer; MIRASOL showed survival benefit over chemotherapy.
Mis18 domain
Mis18 domain (Yippee-like/MeDiY, IPR034752): conserved zinc-binding N-terminal domain of Mis18 kinetochore proteins; C-X-X-C motifs, dimerization essential for centromere localization and CENP-A loading; absent from Drosophila.
Miscanthus
Miscanthus, also known as silvergrass, is a genus of about 12 perennial C4 grasses native to Eastern Asia, valued as ornamental garden plants and biomass crops for renewable energy.
Miscanthus × giganteus
Miscanthus × giganteus (giant miscanthus) is a sterile triploid C4 hybrid grass of M. sinensis and M. sacchariflorus, introduced to Denmark in 1935, grown as a high-yielding low-input bioenergy crop with cold-tolerant photosynthesis.
Miscarriage
Miscarriage, also called spontaneous abortion or early pregnancy loss, is the loss of a pregnancy before 24 weeks. It occurs in about 10% of clinically recognized pregnancies, is mostly due to chromosomal abnormalities, and is managed expectantly, medically, or surgically.
Misha B. Ahrens
Misha B. Ahrens is a neuroscientist and Senior Group Leader at Janelia Research Campus, HHMI, known for whole-brain imaging of larval zebrafish at single-cell resolution.
Misha Tsodyks
Misha Tsodyks is a theoretical neuroscientist, a professor at the Weizmann Institute in Israel and the Institute for Advanced Study, known for his 1996 Nature paper on synaptic plasticity.
Misidentification delusion
A misidentification delusion is a fixed, false belief about the identity of people, places, or objects, typically that familiar people have been replaced by identical-looking impostors.
Misitatug blivedotin
Misitatug blivedotin (RC88) is RemeGen's mesothelin-targeting antibody-drug conjugate, a humanized anti-MSLN IgG1 linked to MMAE via a cleavable linker, in phase 1/2 trials for ovarian, lung, and cervical cancers.
Miso (味噌)
Miso (味噌) is a Japanese fermented soybean paste made with koji (Aspergillus oryzae) and salt, first recorded in Japan in the 701 Taihō Code; types include rice, barley, and soybean miso, used chiefly in miso soup.
Misonidazole
Misonidazole (Ro-07-0582) is a 2-nitroimidazole drug developed by Hoffmann-La Roche as a hypoxic-cell radiosensitizer, first given to patients in 1974; toxicity limited its use, though its radiolabeled analog became a PET tracer.
Misophonia
Misophonia is a disorder of intense anger or disgust triggered by specific sounds like chewing or breathing, first named in 2001, defined by a 2022 Delphi consensus, and treatable with cognitive behavioral therapy.
Misoprostol
Misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog, is used by the FDA for reducing gastric ulcers. Internationally, it is favored for cervical ripening, labor induction, and treating PPH.
