Mapping of Nervous System Diseases Via Micrornas

Beschreibung

This book provides an up-to-date review of the function of microRNA (miRNA) in neurological diseases as well as advancements in technology for therapeutic modulation of miRNA activity. It covers general concepts and novel insights on brain function in relation to miRNA and also examines the role of miRNAs in various neurological diseases. Covering the full range of relevant concepts and giving a look into present and future possibilities, it is a necessary cutting-edge reference for neurologists, neuropathologists, and researchers and practitioners in a wide range of related fields.

Autor

Christian Barbato, MD, is a researcher at the Institute of Cell Biology and Neurobiology, CNR, in Italy. He earned his PhD in neuroscience from the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy. His past work has focused on the characterization of cellular and molecular neurobiology of RNA-induced silencing complex and noncoding RNA in synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. His recent research focuses on the function of microRNAs and their gene targets implicated in physiological and pathological processes of neurons. Francesca Ruberti, PhD, is a researcher at the Institute of Cell Biology and Neurobiology, CNR, in Italy. He earned his PhD in biophysics from the International School of Advanced Studies, Trieste, Italy. His past research has focused on the role of nerve growth factor on specific neuronal populations of the central nervous system and on synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, and on the molecular mechanisms involved in the cellular localization of specific neuronal proteins or messenger RNAs. His recent research focuses on the study of microRNAs and their gene targets implicated in physiological and pathological processes of neurons.
