TOGETHER WE believe that MicroRNA therapeutics will become a major new class of drugs. We are focused on harnessing their power to target multiple pathways of disease.

This is a normal paragraph. To add some length to it, let us mention that this page was primarily written for testing the effect of user style sheets. You can use it for various other purposes as well, like just checking how your browser displays various HTML elements by default. It can also be useful when testing conversions from HTML format to other formats, since some elements can go wrong then. Dysregulated microRNA expression is a key factor in many complex multi-factoral diseases, including inflammatory disease, fibrosis, metabolic disease and cancer. microRNA therapeutics are oligonucleotides that modulate the function of microRNAs, correcting the imbalance of gene expression and associated cellular pathways to treat a broad range human disease.This is another paragraph. I think it needs to be added that the set of elements tested is not exhaustive in any sense.

microRNAs are members of a large class of non-coding RNAs of approximately 22 nucleotides in length that regulate most genes in the genome. A single microRNA can target and regulate up to hundreds of genes and these genes are involved in biological networks or pathways.I have selected those elements for which it can make sense to write user style sheet rules, in my opinion.

Together, the Regulus team is leading the way in the discovery and development of microRNA therapeutics.

Regulus was formed in September 2007 by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ALNY) and Isis Pharmaceuticals, now Ionis Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:IONS) and has continued to build upon our thought leadership, knowledge base, intellectual property and a clear focus to become the leader in microRNA therapeutics. The Regulus systems approach has mapped more than 6,000 diseases to specific tissue pathologies as well as their driver genes. It has linked specific microRNAs to the regulation of those driver genes and tissue disease states. Regulus has benefited from the collective therapeutic RNA expertise of its founding companies, including established proprietary oligonucleotide-based technologies, and broad and dominant intellectual property estates specific to chemically modified oligonucleotides. Regulus can access over 850 patents and patent applications in oligonucleotide technologies as well as owning over 200 patents and patent applications directed to microRNA delivery, manufacturing and specific technologies.

This is a block quotation containing a single paragraph. Well, not quite, since this is not really quoted text, but I hope you understand the point. After all, this page does not use HTML markup very normally anyway.

Regulus Therapeutics is located in La Jolla, California and is led by a seasoned executive team and board of directors, with proven expertise in corporate management, business operations, drug discovery, development and commercialization.

Lists

  • One.
  • Two.
  • Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer. Note that for short items lists look better if they are compactly presented, whereas for long items, it would be better to have more vertical spacing between items.
  • Four. This is the last item in this list. Let us terminate the list now without making any more fuss about it.

lorum ipsum text here to show odd

lorem upsum to show even


This is a paragraph before a numbered list (ol). Note that the spacing between a paragraph and a list before or after that is hard to tune in a user style sheet. You can””t guess which paragraphs are logically related to a list, e.g. as a “list header”.

  1. One.
  2. Two.
  3. Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer. Note that if items are short, lists look better if they are compactly presented, whereas for long items, it would be better to have more vertical spacing between items.
  4. Four. This is the last item in this list. Let us terminate the list now without making any more fuss about it.

Links

This is a text paragraph that contains some inline links. Generally, inline links (as opposite to e.g. links lists) are problematic from the usability perspective, but they may have use as “incidental”, less relevant links. See the document Links Want To Be Links.
