RNA sequencing reveals changes in the microRNAome of transdifferentiating hepatic stellate cells that are conserved between human and rat

Abstract MicroRNAs are small (~ 22nt long) noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Over 2000 microRNAs have been described in humans and many are implicated in human pathologies including tissue fibrosis. Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are the major cel...
