Pre-microRNA and mature microRNA in human mitochondria.
<h4>Background</h4>Because of the central functions of the mitochondria in providing metabolic energy and initiating apoptosis on one hand and the role that microRNA (miRNA) play in gene expression, we hypothesized that some miRNA could be present in the mitochondria for post-transcripto...
