miR-21 Promotes Keratinocyte Migration and Re-epithelialization During Wound Healing

<p>MicroRNAs involved in keratinocyte migration and wound healing are largely unknown. Here, we revealed the indispensable role of miR-21 in keratinocyte migration and in re-epithelialization during wound healing in mice. In HaCaT cell, miR-21 could be upregulated by TGF-&#946;1. Similar t...
