Loss of microRNA-30a and sex-specific effects on the neonatal hyperoxic lung injury

ConclusionsmiR-30a could be one of the biological factors mediating the resilience of the female preterm lung to neonatal hyperoxic lung injury. A better understanding of the effects ofmiR-30a on pulmonary angiogenesis and alveolarization may lead to novel therapeutics for treating BPD.
