Differential Expression of MicroRNAs in Leprosy Skin Lesions
25 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
Leprosy, a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, is a major public health problem in poor and developing countries of the Americas, Africa, and Asia. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which are small non-coding RNAs (18–24 nucleotides), play an important role in regulating cell and tissue homeostasis through translational downregulation of messenger RNAs. Deregulation of miRNA expression is important for...
