Light-inducible antimiR-92a as a therapeutic strategy to promote skin repair in healing-impaired diabetic mice

Inhibition of microRNAs using antimiRs is a potential therapeutic option for a number of diseases, but systemic inhibition may cause adverse effects. Here the authors develop light-activated antimiRs directed against miR-92a, and show localized inhibition in the skin and improved wound healing in di...
