Circular RNA Expression for Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Hearts and Pluripotent Stem Cell–Derived Cardiomyocytes
17 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a type of heart disease delimited by enlargement and dilation of one or both of the ventricles along with damaged contractility, which is often accompanied by the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 40%. DCM is progressive and always leads to heart failure. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are unique species of noncoding RNAs featuring high cell-type specificity and...
