MicroRNA‐130a, a Potential Antifibrotic Target in Cardiac Fibrosis

MicroRNA‐130a, a Potential Antifibrotic Target in Cardiac Fibrosis

BackgroundCardiac fibrosis occurs because of disruption of the extracellular matrix network leading to myocardial dysfunction. Angiotensin II has been implicated in the development of cardiac fibrosis. Recently, microRNAs have been identified as an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in c...
