DeutschPatrick Maschmeyer: Functions of microRNAs in chronic inflammatory diseases
Event date
Thursday, 17 January 2019 || Time: 14:00
Delineation
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small (~ 22 nucleotide long), single-stranded non-coding RNAs. They are important regulators of gene expression in cells and are critical in a multitude of cellular processes such as cell division, cell survival or migration. Recent studies demonstrated that miRNAs can contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases. This lecture will highlight the relationship between miRNAs and chronic inflammatory conditions and focus on mechanistic functions of miRNAs in the pathology of chronic inflammation.
