Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gene expression alterations are associated with disease behavior in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). microRNAs (miRNAs) are dominant in the regulation of gene expression, and may affect IBD phenotype. Our aim was to assess mucosal miRNA expression in IBD and the correlation with intestinal inflammation. METHODS: We performed a large-scale analysis of ileal mucosal miRNA. Biopsies were retrieved from...
