Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by symptoms such as bradykinesia, resting tremor, and rigidity, primarily driven by the degradation of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra. A significant contributor to familial autosomal dominant PD cases is mutations in the LRRK2 gene, making it a primary therapeutic target. This study explores the role of microRNAs...
