Common microRNA signatures in cardiac hypertrophic and atrophic remodeling induced by changes in hemodynamic load.
<h4>Background</h4>Mechanical overload leads to cardiac hypertrophy and mechanical unloading to cardiac atrophy. Both conditions produce similar transcriptional changes including a re-expression of fetal genes, despite obvious differences in phenotype. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are discussed as...
