New contexts are needed for the discussion and integration of basic and clinical data in order to translate the dynamic progress in the field of neuroscience into more effective therapies and patients' health improvements.
The Frontiers in Neurotherapeutics Series provides a multidisciplinary platform to discuss innovative, methodological, and pharmacological approaches aimed at the identification and validation of novel neurotherapeutics. It features reviews and original articles from basic and translational research on cutting-edge topics in diverse and integrated areas of neuroscience, including neuro-immunology and neuro-oncology.

In recent years, understanding of microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis, the molecular mechanisms by which miRNAs regulate gene expression, and the functional roles of miRNAs has expanded. Mapping of Nervous System Diseases via MicroRNAs provides an up-to-date review on the function of miRNA in neurological ...
