Irradiation Activates MZF1 to Inhibit miR-541-5p Expression and Promote Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in Radiation-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis (RIPF) by Upregulating Slug
Understanding miRNAs regulatory roles in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) would help establish new avenues for further uncovering the mechanisms underlying radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis (RIPF) and identifying preventative and therapeutic targets. Here, we demonstrated that miR-541-5p r...
