Regulation of birthweight by placenta-derived miRNAs: evidence from an arsenic-exposed birth cohort in Bangladesh

Altered expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) is implicated in fetal growth. However, the mechanisms by which placenta-derived miRNAs regulate birthweight are not well understood. In Phase 1, we compared the expression of 754 miRNAs in the placenta from two extreme birthweight groups (0.8–2.2 kg vs. 3.3–...
