The neuronal microRNA system

KS Kosik - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2006 - nature.com
A class of small, non-coding transcripts called microRNAs (miRNAs) that provide a crucial
and pervasive layer of post-transcriptional gene regulation has recently emerged and …

[PDF][PDF] MicroRNAs potentiate neural development

SK Fineberg, KS Kosik, BL Davidson - Neuron, 2009 - cell.com
