Research reveals how subtle changes in a microRNA may lead to ALS

This latest research on microRNAs (miRNAs), regulatory molecules that act like brakes to reduce the production of proteins, has implications for studying and treating the underlying causes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurological and psychiatric disorders. The work could also be applicable to a wide range of diseases involving changes in gene expression levels, like cancer.
