Does aging compromise our microRNA-mediated protection to kill dopamine neurons?
Dr. Vinnikov and Dr. Domanskyi just published a perspective mini-review paper “Can we treat neurodegenerative diseases by preventing an age-related decline in microRNA expression?” Vinnikov I.A.*, Domanskyi A.* 2017. Neural Regeneration Research 12: 1602-1604. *co-corresponding authors. Full text of the publication Abstract: MicroRNA pathway is down-regulated in aged dopaminergic neurons: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most frequent motor neurodegenerative disorder and is morphologically mainly associated with progressive dopaminergic neuronal loss in the ventral midbrain. The cause of this pathology is…
