    Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are functional non-coding RNAs that play significant roles in the central nervous system (CNS).

  • 2

    tsRNAs are particularly abundant in neurons and exhibit cell type-specific expression profiles, impacting normal physiology and neurological disorders.

  • 3

    Disease-specific tsRNA profiles have been identified in conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, epilepsy, and Alzheimer's disease.

  • 4

    The mechanisms of tsRNAs include targeting mRNA, interacting with RNA binding proteins, and modulating translation machinery.

  • 5

    Future research on tsRNAs may lead to novel diagnostics and therapeutics for brain diseases, considering age, sex, and disease-specific factors.
