MicroRNAs and cataracts: correlation among let-7 expression, age and the severity of lens opacity
14 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Let-7 microRNA is an important regulator of cellular ageing and tissue senescence. The objective of this study is to evaluate the expression of let-7a/let-7b/let-7c microRNAs in human age-related cataracts. AIM: To evaluate the correlation among the severity of lens opacity, the level of let-7a/let-7b/let-7c microRNA expression and patient age in the context of age-related cataracts. METHODS: The...
