Extracellular vesicle miRNA-21 is a potential biomarker for predicting chronic lung disease in premature infants

Abstract excerpt

Premature infants are often exposed to positive pressure ventilation and supplemental oxygen, which leads to the development of chronic lung disease (CLD). There are currently no standard serum biomarkers used for prediction or early detection of patients who go on to develop CLD. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a novel class of naturally occurring, short, noncoding substances that regulate gene expression at the...
