Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs (21-25 nucleotides) that regulate protein expression by interacting with mRNAs. These miRNAs are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of a variety of cellular processes including those associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's. Patients with Down syndrome present higher risk for Alzheimer's disease than the general …
