MicroRNA, mRNA, and protein expression link development and aging in human and macaque brain

TL;DR: Surprisingly, many gene expression changes previously attributed to aging, such as down-regulation of neural genes, initiate in early childhood, suggesting a direct link between developmental regulation and expression changes taking place in aging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extension of cortical synaptic development distinguishes humans from chimpanzees and macaques

TL;DR: It is shown that the most prominent human-specific expression change affects genes associated with synaptic functions and represents an extreme shift in the timing of synaptic development in the prefrontal cortex, but not the cerebellum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Widespread expression of piRNA-like molecules in somatic tissues

TL;DR: The results show widespread presence of pilRNA, displaying all known characteristics of piRNA in multiple somatic tissues of these three species, and indicate that piRNA-like molecules might play important roles outside of the germline.
