MiR-30a targets IL-1α and regulates islet functions as an inflammation buffer and response factor

Abstract Diabetes is an inflammatory disease. Inflammation plays an important role in islet functions. However, the exact mechanisms by which inflammation affects islet functions remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the regulatory effects of miR-30a on inflammation and islet functions. The...
