Circ-Pank1 Promotes Dopaminergic Neuron Neurodegeneration through Modulating miR-7a-5p/α-Syn Pathway in Parkinson’s Disease

The authors found that circRNA derived from the pantothenate kinase 1 (circ-Pank1) could adsorb miR-7a-5p and upregulate the expression of α-synuclein (α-syn), which is a molecular hallmark closely related to Parkinson’s disease.
