MicroRNAs play a key function within the growth of complicated brains

Cephalopods like octopuses, squids and cuttlefish are very smart animals with complicated nervous techniques. In “Science Advances”, a group led by Nikolaus Rajewsky of the Max Delbrück Heart has now proven that their evolution is linked to a dramatic growth of their microRNA repertoire. If we go far sufficient again in evolutionary historical past, we […]
