Reconstruction of the miR-506-Quaking axis in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis using integrative multi-source bioinformatics

Abstract The family of RNA-binding proteins (RBP) functions as a crucial regulator of multiple biological processes and diseases. However, RBP function in the clinical setting of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is still unknown. We developed a practical in silico screening approach for the chara...
