Lippi G, Steinert J, Marczylo E, DOro S, Fiore R, Forsythe I, et al.
J Cell Biol . 2011 Sep; 194(6):889-904. PMID: 21930776
Previous studies have demonstrated that microribonucleic acids (miRs) are key regulators of protein expression in the brain and modulate dendritic spine morphology and synaptic activity. To identify novel miRs involved...

Young K, Pinon L, Dhiraj D, Twiddy D, MacFarlane M, Hickman J, et al.
Neuropharmacology . 2010 Mar; 58(8):1258-67. PMID: 20307556
Inhibition of pro-survival Bcl-2 family proteins by BH3-only proteins is a key initial step leading to apoptotic cell death. In neurons, investigating cell death pathways is often hampered by the...
