A fear of pheromones (revisited)
Neurotransmitter Switching Regulated by miRNAs Controls Changes in Social Preference Reported as: Scents and social preference: Neuroscientists ID the roots of attraction “MicroRNAs were ideal candidates for the job,” said Lippi, a project scientist in Berg’s laboratory in the Division’s Neurobiology Section. “They are post-transcriptional repressors and can target hundreds of different mRNAs to consolidate specific genetic programs and trigger developmental switches.” Energy-dependent changes in the microRNA/messenger RNA balance link the physiology of pheromone-controlled reproduction to all healthy longevity in…
