microRNA are central players in anti- and profibrotic gene regulation during liver fibrosis.
miRNA are small noncoding RNA molecules that posttranscriptionally effect mRNA stability and translation by targeting the 3´-untranslated region (3`-UTR) of various transcripts. Thus, dysregulation of miRNA affects a wide range of cellular processes such as cell proliferation and differenti...
