18 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: miRNA-181a has been implicated in autoimmunity and apoptosis. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore its possible role in pancreatic beta-cells dysfunction. METHODS: miRNA-181a expression was evaluated by real-time PCR in serum of 40 type 1 diabetic children and adolescents and 40 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. RESULTS: miRNA-181a expression was significantly higher in diabetic...
