Cardiac-specific microRNA-125b deficiency induces perinatal death and cardiac hypertrophy

Abstract MicroRNA-125b, the first microRNA to be identified, is known to promote cardiomyocyte maturation from embryonic stem cells; however, its physiological role remains unclear. To investigate the role of miR-125b in cardiovascular biology, cardiac-specific miR-125b-1 knockout mice were generate...
