: Recent studies highlight its role in regulating immune responses, including T-cell activation and neuroinflammation. Clinical Potential Due to its broad regulatory reach, miR-7 is a target for:
: Its levels are controlled post-transcriptionally by "sponges" like circular RNA ciRS-7 (also known as CDR1as), which contains over 70 binding sites for miR-7 and can effectively quench its activity. Role in Pathophysiology
miR-7 is preferentially expressed in neuroendocrine tissues, specifically the and pancreas .
