messengerhttp://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22329860.400-the-gobetween-lifes-unexpected-messenger.html Overview connecting many flavors of #RNA – ie RNAi, siRNA, miRNA & @exRNA

Some bits unclear though – in relation to boundaries betw. siRNA & exRNA

The RNA in cells is far more mobile than we thought (Image: Renaud Vigourt)

Far from staying put, RNA – the less famous cousin of DNA – can roam far afield, carrying information to other cells in the body and even to other animals

UNDER the soil of the cornfield, the rootworm larvae emerge from their eggs and crawl in search of roots to munch on. But their mother chose the wrong field to lay her eggs in. There’s something special about the maize here – it’s armed with a smart weapon designed to target the rootworms.

As the larvae feed, this weapon is released from the plant and enters their gut cells. There it halts production of a vital protein by blocking one specific gene. In the hours that follow, this “gene silencing” weapon spreads to other cells in the larvae’s bodies. At first there is no …

[News & Analysis] Cell Biology: NIH Effort Gambles on Mysterious Extracellular RNAs
A $17 million research program, announced this month by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, aims to determine whether RNA molecules are deliberately released by cells as hormonelike signals—and whether such extracellular RNAs can be harnessed for diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.

This advantage relates to the mechanism of UV-mediated crosslinking, which, although incompletely understood, is believed to involve absorption of UV light by nucleic acid bases44 to induce ground state electrons to a singlet higher-energy state that enables the electron to partake in a chemical reaction in which a new covalent bond is formed…
