About this Research Topic
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs, which play a critical role in many biological processes including cellular proliferation, differentiation, maturation, the maintenance of immune homeostasis and normal cellular function. miRNAs have been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of many neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. They are also involved in the mechanisms of immunoregulation and inflammation in autoimmune diseases. Additionally, circulating miRNA diagnostic biomarkers have been identified for many neurological disorders. Nevertheless, the role of miRNAs in the mechanisms of these diseases is not yet characterized.
In recent years, there have been many noteworthy studies looking at the role of miRNAs in neurological disorders. These have examined miRNA functions in vitro and in vivo model systems, and have identified miRNA biomarkers, miRNA regulatory networks, the miRNA pathway, and looked at miRNA therapeutics. These valuable studies shed light on the effective diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders, and have revealed the importance of studying miRNAs and their role in neurological diseases. Therefore, in this Research Topic, we welcome any interesting in vitro and in vivo experiments, bioinformatics analyses, clinical data analyses, case studies, and other research relating to miRNAs and neurological diseases.
