LncRNA MALAT1 Modulates TGF-β1-Induced EMT in Keratinocyte
One of the major complications in diabetes is impaired wound healing. Unfortunately, effective therapies are currently lacking. Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical process involved in cutaneous wound healing. In response to injury, EMT is required to activate and mobilize statio...
