A neuron-specific deletion of the microRNA-processing enzyme DICER induces severe but transient obesity in mice.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally.MiRNAs are implicated in various biological processes associated with obesity, including adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism.We used a neuronal-specific inhibition of miRNA maturation in adult mice to study the consequences of miRN
