Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules involved in post-transcriptional control of gene expression of a wide number of genes, including those involved in glucose homeostasis. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by hyperglycaemia and defects in insulin secretion and action at target tissues. We sought to establish differences in global miRNA expression in...
to humans, will be important to elucidate the potential role of miR-125a in T2D pathophysiology. Notes Blanca M Herrera, Helen E Lockstone contributed equally to this work. Declarations
