Big Strides in Cellular MicroRNA Expression

Publication date: Available online 18 January 2018 Source:Trends in Genetics Author(s): Marc K. Halushka, Bastian Fromm, Kevin J. Peterson, Matthew N. McCall A lack of knowledge of the cellular origin of miRNAs has greatly confounded functional and biomarkers studies. Recently, three studies characterized miRNA expression patterns across >78 human cell types. These combined data expand our knowledge of miRNA expression localization and confirm that many miRNAs show cell type-specific expression patterns.
