Diabetic nephropathy: A lncRNA and miRNA megacluster in diabetic nephropathy

Nature Reviews Nephrology 12, 713 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrneph.2016.151 Author: Susan J. Allison Several microRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy; however, a new report describes the discovery of a large megacluster of nearly 40 miRNAs hosted by a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), which are co-ordinately upregulated in renal cells in response to diabetic
