FIGURE 2

The schematic presentation of autophagy pathway and core autophagy-related proteins targeted by various miRNAs. The figure shows some significant miRNAs (dark green color) and their respective targets (light green and yellow color) for the regulation of autophagic mechanisms in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. The figure shows that insufficient research has been conducted in neurodegenerative diseases for the regulation of autophagy via miRNAs and further molecular research is encouraged in all major neurodegenerative diseases including prion diseases.
