MicroRNA‐27b Targets Gremlin 1 to Modulate Fibrotic Responses in Pulmonary Cells
14 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
Fibrosis is a chronic disease characterized by an excessive deposition of scar tissue in the affected organs. A central mediator of this process is transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), which stimulates the production of extracellular matrix proteins such as collagens. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in both fibrosis as well as in TGF-β signaling, but the extent of their regulation has not been fully...
