A study in humans demonstrated that circNAPEPLD is significantly decreased in the peripheral blood of Alzheimer's disease patients and may be used to distinguish them from other dementia cases [Misir et al. DOI:10.1038/s41418-022-00948-7]. A study in mice and humans demonstrated that circNAPEPLD is expressed in spermatozoa and specifically interacts with five miRNAs involved in cell cycle control, suggesting a role as a paternal-derived sponge for miRNAs inside fertilized oocytes [Di Agostino et al. DOI:10.3389/fcell.2020.00389].
