Abstract excerpt
A family of small, noncoding RNAs, known as microRNAs, has recently emerged as sequence-specific regulators of gene expression. Hundreds of microRNAs have been identified in almost all metazoans genomes, but they are only beginning to be classified by functional roles. Here, we review microRNAs that have been shown to play roles in two closely related processes, lifespan and metabolic regulation. Understanding...
