What is the role of miR-21 in Congenital Heart Defects?
Research has shown that miR-21 plays a crucial role in cardiogenesis and the development of congenital heart defects (CHDs). Dysregulation of miR-21 can affect cardiac cell differentiation and proliferation, leading to structural abnormalities in the heart. Studies suggest that modulating miR-21 levels could help in understanding the mechanisms behind CHDs and potentially in developing targeted treatments.
