Among them, major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD) are the most prevalent, characterized by emotional and cognitive impairments that substantially limit daily functioning and reduce quality of life...
Differential microRNA profiling of blood L1CAM and bulk extracellular vesicles in bipolar disorder
Bipolar Disorders 1 min.
This preliminary study aimed to identify microRNA (miRNA) signatures associated with bipolar disorder (BD) by profiling blood-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) of both putative neuronal origin and from all sources. In two parallel studies of individuals with BD and controls (CON), we characterized...
