MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small and highly conserved non-coding RNA molecules that
orchestrate a wide range of biological processes through the post-transcriptional regulation …

Body growth and development are regulated among others by genetic and epigenetic
factors. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are epigenetic regulators of gene expression that act at the …

Since the presence of microRNAs was first observed in normal pituitary, the majority of

Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) activation plays a key role in liver fibrosis. Numerous studies
have indicated that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) control liver fibrosis and fibroblasts …

Cortistatin is a neuropeptide originally identified in cortical brain regions, which displays a

The anterior pituitary is the most important endocrine organ modulating animal postnatal
growth, mainly by controlling growth hormone (GH) gene transcription, synthesis, and …

Background As a newly characterized type of noncoding RNA, circular RNA (circRNA) has
been shown to have functions in diverse biological processes of animals. It has been …

Pituitary growth hormone (GH) plays an essential role in processes of organism growth and
