Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Loss of skeletal muscle mass and function is a common consequence of critical illness and a range of chronic diseases, but the mechanisms by which this occurs are unclear. OBJECTIVES: To identify microRNAs (miRNAs) that were increased in the quadriceps of patients with muscle wasting and to determine the molecular pathways by which they contributed to muscle dysfunction. METHODS: miRNA-542-3p/5p...
