The brain is of bewildering complexity and numerous genes and signaling molecules have
been described that affect the architecture and functioning of specific neuronal circuits …

microRNAs, small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-
transcriptional level, are emerging as important regulatory molecules involved in the fine …

Endocrinology is the study of hormones. The term “hormone” was coined by Starling in
1905, based on the discovery of secretin (1). Hormones are traditionally defined as chemical …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short (∼ 22 nucleotides) non-coding ribonucleic acid (RNA)
molecules that negatively regulate the expression of protein-coding genes …

The architecture and functioning of the mammalian nervous system are partly based on the
complexity of combinatorial gene expression in the developing brain that results in a …

The brain is considered a major site for microRNA (miRNA) expression; as evidenced by
several studies reporting microarray data of different brain substructures. The hypothalamus …

Since the presence of microRNAs was first observed in normal pituitary, the majority of
scientific publications addressing their role and the function of microRNAs in the pituitary …

MicroRNAs play important roles in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by
inhibiting protein translation and/or promoting mRNA degradation. Importantly, biogenesis of …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that promote post-transcriptional silencing of
