microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) approximately 22 nucleotides in length that control expression of genes at the level of transcription, by binding to messenger RNAs (mRNAs). 1 It is becoming increasingly evident that a significant fraction of genes and biochemical pathways are regulated by miRNA or ncRNAs. 2-4 Consequently, and unsurprisingly, miRNAs serve numerous functions under healthy and pathological conditions. 5 Involvement of miRNAs in regulation of the cardiovascular system
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
