Abstract
miRNA-21 is regarded as both an abundant and highly conserved member of the microRNA (miRNA) family. It is expressed in virtually every cell and is responsible for critical regulatory actions that are important in health and disease. This microRNA has been shown to potentially have a role in the pathogenesis of several immune-related disorders, including autoimmune diseases, such as Multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus, as two prominent examples of diseases that might be involved. In the current research, we looked at the role of miRNA-21, regarded as one of the most significant pathogenic miRNAs with a role in the development of autoimmune illness.
期刊介绍:
Current Molecular Medicine is an interdisciplinary journal focused on providing the readership with current and comprehensive reviews/ mini-reviews, original research articles, short communications/letters and drug clinical trial studies on fundamental molecular mechanisms of disease pathogenesis, the development of molecular-diagnosis and/or novel approaches to rational treatment. The reviews should be of significant interest to basic researchers and clinical investigators in molecular medicine. Periodically the journal invites guest editors to devote an issue on a basic research area that shows promise to advance our understanding of the molecular mechanism(s) of a disease or has potential for clinical applications.
