NEFL and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: Another study shows that human neurofilament (NEFL) 3′UTR has two sites for hsa-miR-9 binding and that hsa-miR-9 is capable of reducing the expression of NEFL and regulating the mRNA stability of essential intermediate filaments and thus potentially contributing to the pathogenesis of intermediate neurofilament inclusions in ALS [52].
