Long noncoding RNA NEAT1 suppresses hepatocyte proliferation in fulminant hepatic failure through increased recruitment of EZH2 to the LATS2 promoter region and promotion of H3K27me3 methylation

Liver failure: A NEAT possibility for treatment A long noncoding RNA molecule, one that does not encode the synthesis of protein, is implicated in acute liver failure (AHF) and might offer a new target for drugs to treat the condition. AHF can be induced by various factors, including viruses, drugs,...
