Aire downregulation is associated with changes in the posttranscriptional control of peripheral tissue antigens in medullary thymic epithelial cells.

Autoimmune regulator (Aire) is a transcriptional regulator of peripheral tissue antigens (PTAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs). In this study, we tested the hypothesis that Aire also played a role as an upstream posttranscriptional controller in these cells and t...
