Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression by targeting complementary mRNAs for destruction or translational repression. Aberrant expression of miRNAs has been associated with various diseases including cancer, thus making them interesting therapeutic targets. The composite of secondary structural elements that comprise miRNAs could aid the design of small molecules that modulate their...
In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Belitsky et al. [1] elegantly describe the use of supramolecular complexes of sugars to multivalently target Galectin-1 (Gal-1), a lectin involved in the organization of cell surface glycoproteins, signaling, cell death, and cancer metastasis.
