Role and therapeutic potential of microRNAs in diabetes
7 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
The discovery in mammalian cells of hundreds of small RNA molecules, called microRNAs, with the potential to modulate the expression of the majority of the protein-coding genes has revolutionized many areas of biomedical research, including the diabetes field. MicroRNAs function as translational repressors and are emerging as key regulators of most, if not all, physiological processes. Moreover, alterations in...
