microRNA: a compromising tool




Although what I am going to tell you is not a technical, instrument or material as such, but rather an interesting and small (but powerful) pharmaceutical weapon. First I will tell you about the microRNA (miRNA), these are small nucleotide sequences of non-coding RNA, that is, they do not synthesize proteins. Before, the scientists did not know very well the functions that these small fragments had in our organism, today it is known that they act as small machines for the regulation of gene expression, that is, they regulate the synthesis of proteins in cells.

Thanks to the study and new discoveries about these RNAs, the usefulness of these sequences in new gene therapies is being analyzed and evaluated to cure diseases caused by the abnormal expression of certain genes (such as viral, carcinogenic or other diseases).
It is of high importance in my career because it implies a compromising future in areas of research.
I chose this topic because it is something new, interesting and above all, it is something very curious for me.

I learned about this topic not long ago. It was in a couple of months ago, when the teacher told us about these sequences and their pharmaceutical utility.

It has a great impact in the field of health. Since it could be used to cure or treat diseases that today have no cure.

While it has a lot of advantages, if these sequences are not highly specific, they can cause serious illnesses in our body. For example, proteins of tumor cell suppressors can be inhibited.

About pets, love and friendship

My unique and favorite pet is my dog named Jack. It is a small dog but a bit fat. It is black with brown spots. If I mention its form, you would guess its dog breed quickly since it is easy to identify. It is a small dog, with small legs in relation to the size of its body. It also has the shape of a sausage.
Indeed, my dog Jack is of the breed called teckel (in Spanish) or dachshund.

I have my dog since my dad gave it to my sister, since then we all have a great affection to our dog.
What I like most about it, is that he will always be by your side. He is also a very obedient dog. In addition, I like its funny shape, which makes it walk in a very funny way.

This shape is due to a genetic mutation called bassetism or canine achondroplasia. Achondroplasia (dwarfism) is a bone condition where bones do not grow at the expected average size of the breed. The result is abnormally short legs, or the condition of dwarfism.

The best holiday

I will tell you about my memorable holiday, which happened last year during my winter holidays. I choose these holidays because they have great sentimental value.

In winter season, to celebrate our 1 year relationship, my girlfriend and me, we went to olmue. Where we stayed in a great and beautiful cabin. In this place you can do it many activities, you can go to the heated pool and jacuzzi, to the massage center, to the activities around the campfire, and make bread kneading hahaha. We also had the opportunity to ride a bike and on horseback. We did trekking.
We did many things. It was a great opportunity this trip. We put all our savings to spend a great time together and stay with nice memories.


Currently, the two years of relationship have passed and we decided not to travel to save money, because for summer vacations we have planned to travel by plane out of the country. That has me very exciting, the only problem is to get all the money hahaha.
That's it, thanks for reading and if you want to donate money for our trip, here's my transfer account hahaha

A country I would like to visit






I would very much like to go to London, but only on vacation. Actually I would not like to live in another country, either for work or study, since I am a person who likes to be surrounded by friends and family.

London is a heterogeneous and fascinating city with some of the best tourist places and attractions in the world. There is so much to do that it is difficult to travel all the activities that London offers, its museums and monuments, to make excursions, to take boat trips, to visit the great parks and all the architecture that this enormous city delivers.
London is the capital and the city of England and the United Kingdom. This country, which was founded by the Romans, still conserves areas with a medieval atmosphere. It is considered a global city, for the great power in the field of arts, commerce, education, entertainment, finance, research, tourism and transport.

What most impresses me about this country is the large number of tourist sites offered, for example: the Tower of London, the House of Somerset, Hyde Park or Richmond Park, Chelsea Stadium, the London Eye, its beautiful churchs, the buckingham palace and the large number of museums.





If I had enough money I would like to visit the vast majority of its attraccions, but without hesitation, I would like to get into the London Eye. The view a must be beautiful, considering all the buildings of city.
