MicroRNA‐145‐5p regulates fibrotic features of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa skin fibroblasts
28 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a skin fragility disorder caused by mutations in the COL7A1 gene encoding type VII collagen, a cutaneous basement membrane component essential for epidermal-dermal adhesion. Hallmarks of the disease are unremitting blistering and chronic wounds with severe inflammation and fibrosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of gene...
