Comprehensive Gene and microRNA Expression Profiling Reveals a Role for microRNAs in Human Liver Development

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate cognate mRNAs post-transcriptionally. miRNAs have been implicated in regulating gene expression in embryonic developmental processes, including proliferation and differentiation. The liver is a multifunctional organ, which undergoes rapid changes during the developmental period and relies on tightly-regulated gene expression. Little is...
