Evaluation of endogenous miRNA reference genes across different zebrafish strains, developmental stages and kidney disease models

Abstract The majority of kidney diseases arise from the loss of podocytes and from morphological changes of their highly complex foot process architecture, which inevitably leads to a reduced kidney filtration and total loss of kidney function. It could have been shown that microRNAs (miRs) play a p...
