miRNAs in Autoimmune Diseases: Contributors or Controllers?
Journal Title: Science Insights - Year 2022, Vol 40, Issue 5
Abstract
Even though microRNAs (miRNAs) have been linked to autoimmune diseases, the diagnostic and therapeutic value of miRNAs remains restricted. There is currently no way to determine the function and importance of each miRNA, which makes it impossible to develop targeted medicines and diagnostics for particular diseases. There has been no discovery of a specific miRNA-targeting diagnostic or therapeutic intervention to date.
