A Combined mRNA- and miRNA-Sequencing Approach Reveals miRNAs as Potential Regulators of the Small Intestinal Transcriptome in Celiac Disease

Celiac disease (CeD) is triggered by gluten and results in inflammation and villous atrophy of the small intestine. We aimed to explore the role of miRNA-mediated deregulation of the transcriptome in CeD. Duodenal biopsies of CeD patients (<i>n</i> = 33) and control subjects (<i>n&...
