The Long Non-Coding RNAs in Neurodegenerative Diseases: Novel Mechanisms of Pathogenesis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Long-non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), RNA molecules longer than 200 nucleotides, have been involved in several biological processes and in a growing number of diseases, controlling gene transcription, pre-mRNA processing, the transport of mature mRNAs to specific cellular compartments, the regulation of mRNA stability, protein translation and turnover. The fundamental role of lncRNAs in central nervous...
