MicroRNA Profiling Identifies miR‐29 as a Regulator of Disease‐associated Pathways in Experimental Biliary Atresia
14 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
Biliary atresia (BA) is a pediatric liver disease of unknown underlying etiology, in which fibroinflammatory destruction of the extrahepatic biliary system leads to obstructive cholestasis. MicroRNAs are a class of short (18-23 nucleotide), noncoding RNA molecules, which act as negative regulators of target mRNA stability and translation. The importance of these molecules in normal and diseased liver has been...
