Abstract excerpt
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major diabetic complication. However, the initiating molecular events triggering DN are unknown. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been identified as regulators that modulate the target gene expression and are involved in DN. However, the evidence of the mechanism is still insufficient in human samples. In this study, microRNA microarray assay was used to study gene differential...
