MicroRNAs as regulators of drug abuse and immunity
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 20-22 nucleotide non-coding RNAs that participate in gene regulation. They bind to 3’-untranslated regions of their mRNA targets, inhibiting the transcripts’ translation and/or destabilizing them. Chronic drug abuse induces changes of miRNAs expression in the brain, which is t...
