Circular RNAs as a novel layer of regulatory mechanism in multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is believed to be an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in which autoreactive immune cells recognizing myelin antigens lead to demyelination and axonal injury. Mechanisms inducing and controlling the pathogenesis of MS have not been fully elucidated. Recent studies suggest an important role of epigenetic processes during the development of MS. One of the most significant discoveries in the field of epigenetic contribution to immune response has been the recognition of a group of microRNAs (miRNAs).
