Transposable element small and long RNAs in aging brains and implications in Huntington's and Parkinson's disease.

The article discusses the role of transposable elements (TEs) in aging brains and neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's Disease (HD) and Parkinson's Disease (PD). The study found significant changes in TE small RNAs in aging human brains, with a negative relationship between TE small RNAs and long RNAs. Additionally, the research suggests that TE RNAs could potentially serve as biomarkers for human brain aging and neurodegenerative disorders.
