Abstract
A combination of intracellular and extracellular abnormalities of the nervous system, coupled with inflammation and intestinal dysbiosis, form the hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). While it is difficult to identify the precise order in which these hallmarks manifest in NDDs because of their mutualistic nature, they cumulatively result in nervous or neuronal damage that characterizes neurodegeneration. In this review we discuss the roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the maintenance of nervous system homeostasis and their implication for NDDs. We further highlight recent advances in, and limitations of, miRNA therapeutics in NDDs and their future potential.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Molecular Medicine (TMM) aims to offer concise and contextualized perspectives on the latest research advancing biomedical science toward better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human diseases. It focuses on research at the intersection of basic biology and clinical research, covering new concepts in human biology and pathology with clear implications for diagnostics and therapy. TMM reviews bridge the gap between bench and bedside, discussing research from preclinical studies to patient-enrolled trials. The major themes include disease mechanisms, tools and technologies, diagnostics, and therapeutics, with a preference for articles relevant to multiple themes. TMM serves as a platform for discussion, pushing traditional boundaries and fostering collaboration between scientists and clinicians. The journal seeks to publish provocative and authoritative articles that are also accessible to a broad audience, inspiring new directions in molecular medicine to enhance human health.
