The microRNAome of pregnancy: deciphering miRNA networks at the maternal-fetal interface.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) post-transcriptionally regulate a vast network of genes by inhibiting mRNA translation. Aberrant miRNA expression profiles have been implicated in pathologies and physiological processes including pregnancy and angiogenesis. Using our established model of implantation failure and...

description MicroRNAs (miRNAs) post-transcriptionally regulate a vast network of genes by inhibiting mRNA translation.
