TI - Role of Microrna 135 (MIR-135) in the development of hippocampal neurons PY - 2010/// CY - Valparaíso, Chile PB - Universidad de Valparaíso KW - ADN KW - CEREBRO KW - EXPRESION GENICA N1 - Doctor en Ciencias con Mención en Neurociencia N2 - MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs (~21-25 nucleotides) that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. By interacting with specific binding sites in their mRNA targets, miRNAs can decrease translation efficiency or trigger mRNA degradation. miRNAs have been implicated in a variety of biological functions. It remains largely unclear to what extent microRNAs regulate protein expression during brain development and how this influences brain function. miRNA 135 (miR-135) appears as a very attractive candidate that may be important for neuronal function. Besides being enriches in the brain, many of its predicted targets are related with synaptic function and neuronal development ER -
