MicroRNA and muscle atrophy: Recent progress / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

MicroRNA (miRNA) is involved in the regulation of many genes at the post-transcriptional level and plays an important role in many physiological and pathological processes. More and more evidence suggests that muscle atrophy diseases are related to the regulation of miRNA , which indicting that miRNA may have a great potential to become biomarkers and drug targets for the treatment and diagnosis of the disease. This paper outlined the progress of miRNA in muscle atrophy, hoping to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of muscle diseases.
