Overexpression of miRNA-21 exerts neuroprotective effects on spinal cords against ischemia-reperfusion injury, possibly by inhibition of the proapoptotic proteins Faslg and PDCD4.
Inhibition of the let-7 family microRNAs improves glucose uptake and insulin resistance in the diabetic myocardium and induces cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion injury through Akt and mTOR pathways.
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.
