Journal ArticleDOI

Energizing miRNA research: a review of the role of miRNAs in lipid metabolism, with a prediction that miR-103/107 regulates human metabolic pathways.

TL;DR: A review of the fascinating and fast-growing literature on miRNA regulation of metabolism leads researchers to believe that the future will provide researchers with many additional energizing revelations.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD33 Alzheimer's Risk-Altering Polymorphism, CD33 Expression, and Exon 2 Splicing

TL;DR: This work elucidates the mechanism of action of the AD-associated polymorphism rs3865444 in the promoter of CD33, a member of the sialic acid-binding Ig-superfamily of lectins (SIGLECs) and suggests a novel model wherein SNP-modulated RNA splicing modulates CD33 function and, thereby, AD risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

miR-107 Regulates Granulin/Progranulin with Implications for Traumatic Brain Injury and Neurodegenerative Disease

TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo studies indicate that regulation of GRN by miR-107 may be functionally important, and contributes to GRN expression regulation with implications for brain disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hippocampal sclerosis of aging, a prevalent and high-morbidity brain disease

TL;DR: The published literature on HS-Aging provides strong evidence of an important and under-appreciated brain disease of aging and factors that are hypothesized to cause or modify the disease are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-Argonaute RIP-Chip shows that miRNA transfections alter global patterns of mRNA recruitment to microribonucleoprotein complexes

TL;DR: RIP-Chip assays constitute an optimized, validated, direct, and high-throughput biochemical assay that provides data about specific miRNA:mRNA interactions, as well as global patterns of regulation by miRNAs.
