Abstract:Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent cause of dementia and its incidence is expected to rise as the life expectancy of the population increases. Sex-based differences in AD development have been described, although there are still uncertainties on the role of biological sex in molecular mechanisms of the disease. The study of sex-specific expression profiles of regulatory elements, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), could contribute to a more accurate diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Metho… Show more
