Reviewed by Lexie CornerNon-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are RNA molecules that do not encode proteins but are involved in dynamic cellular regulatory processes.1 These molecules influence various central nervous system (CNS) functions, including neural development, brain aging, synaptic activity, and cognitive performance. A clearer understanding of their role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders could support the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
