A Competitive Endogenous RNA Network Based on Differentially Expressed lncRNA in Lipopolysaccharide‐Induced Acute Lung Injury in Mice
Non-coding RNAs have remarkable roles in acute lung injury (ALI) initiation. Nevertheless, the significance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in ALI is still unknown. Herein, we purposed to identify potential key genes in ALI and create a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) modulatory network to unco...
