MicroRNA‐21 and Dicer are dispensable for hepatic stellate cell activation and the development of liver fibrosis
1 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
Fibrosis and cancer represent two major complications of chronic liver disease. MicroRNAs have been implicated in the development of fibrosis and cancer, thus constituting potential therapeutic targets. Here, we investigated the role of microRNA-21 (miR-21), a microRNA that has been implicated in the development of fibrosis in multiple organs and has also been suggested to act as an "oncomir." Accordingly, miR-21...
