An miRNA with a major impact on stress

Trends Genet. 2023 Jul 4:S0168-9525(23)00136-1. doi: 10.1016/j.tig.2023.06.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTmiRNAs regulate mRNAs, including those important for synapse function in the brain. Mucha and colleagues recently identified a novel miRNA-mRNA interaction in the basolateral amygdala that acts as a homeostatic counter to stress-induced anxiety and synaptic changes, suggesting miRNAs as potential avenues for therapeutic intervention in anxiety disorders.PMID:37414676 | DOI:10.1016/j.tig.2023.06.005
