SARS-COV-2 as potential microRNA sponge in COVID-19 patients
23 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNA that can downregulate their targets by selectively binding to the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of most messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in the human genome.
