Circulating miRNAs as footprints for liver fibrosis grading in schistosomiasis
25 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chronic infection with Schistosoma japonicum or S. mansoni results in hepatic fibrosis of the human host. Staging fibrosis is crucial for the prognosis and to determine the rapid need of treatment in patients with schistosomiasis. METHODS: To establish whether there is a correlation between circulating microRNA (miRNA) level and fibrosis progression in schistosomiasis, ten miRNAs were selected to...
