978-1-009-46642-4 (ISBN)
Take a journey into the fascinating world of microRNA, the genome's master controllers. Discovered in 1993, our genome's master controllers are critical to the evolution of complex life, including humans. This captivating book tells their story, from their discovery and unique role in regulating protein levels to their practical applications in brain health and other branches of medicine. Written by a neuroscientist, it provides an in-depth look at what we know about microRNAs and how we came to know it. Explore the impact of these molecular conductors on your life and gain a new appreciation for the precision they bring to the molecular noise in our cells. Perfect for students of neuroscience, life sciences such as biochemistry and genetics and the curious public alike, this is the captivating tale of the conductors of life's molecular orchestra.
David C. Henshall is professor of molecular physiology and neuroscience and Director of the FutureNeuro Research Centre at the RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences in Dublin, Ireland. He has published 250 articles and book chapters and is an authority on models, mechanisms and treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy.
