Abstract:Environmental factors such as heavy metals can influence the gene expression profiles that can lead to diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are primary regulatory molecules related to health and disease that are sensitive to environmental factors. Several studies have shown an association between environmental exposure to toxic metals such as cadmium (Cd) and disease risk. Growing knowledge has shown that heavy metal toxicity can manifest through miRNAs. Therefore, dysregulated miRNAs are proposed as potential biomark… Show more
