Small RNA and transcriptome sequencing reveal the role of miR‐199a‐3p in inflammatory processes in cystic fibrosis airways
7 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal genetic disease, caused by CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene mutations. CF is characterized by an ionic imbalance and thickened mucus, which impair mucociliary clearance and promote bacterial colonization and the establishment of infection/inflammation cycles. However, the origin of this inflammation remains unclear, although microRNAs...
