Identification of plasma microRNAs as a biomarker of sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
24 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease, which leads to the loss of upper and lower motor neurons, with a currently unknown etiology. Specific biomarkers could help in early detection and diagnosis, and could also act as indicators of disease progression and therapy effectiveness. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small (18-25 nucleotides), single-stranded non-coding RNA...
