The Antifibrotic Effects and Mechanisms of MicroRNA-26a Action in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
5 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, and high-lethality fibrotic lung disease characterized by excessive fibroblast proliferation, extracellular matrix accumulation, and, ultimately, loss of lung function. Although dysregulation of some microRNAs (miRs) has been shown to play important roles in the pathophysiological processes of IPF, the role of miRs in fibrotic lung diseases is not...
