An old weapon with a new function: PIWI-interacting RNAs in neurodegenerative diseases
Abstract PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small non-coding transcripts that are highly conserved across species and regulate gene expression through pre- and post-transcriptional processes. piRNAs were originally discovered in germline cells and protect against transposable element expression to p...
