MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a large family of post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression
that are∼ 21 nucleotides in length and control many developmental and cellular processes …

Long-lasting forms of synaptic plasticity and memory are dependent on new protein
synthesis. Recent advances obtained from genetic, physiological, pharmacological, and …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as key modulators of post-transcriptional gene
regulation in a plethora of tissues, including the nervous system. Recent evidence points to …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression by binding to target messenger RNAs
(mRNAs) and preventing their translation. In general, the number of potential mRNA targets …

Background Recent studies suggest that alterations in expression of genes, including those
which regulate neural and structural plasticity, may be crucial in the pathogenesis of …

In the past two decades, advances in sequencing technology and analysis of the human and
mouse genome have led to the discovery of many non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) …

The maturation of young neurons is regulated by complex mechanisms and dysregulation of
this process is frequently found in neurodevepmental disorders. MicroRNAs have been …

Background Minimally invasive specific biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs)
would facilitate patient selection and disease progression monitoring. We describe the …

The microRNA pathway has been implicated in the regulation of synaptic protein synthesis
