, 2019 , Article)
The use of chitosan nanoparticles (ChNPs) in various biological and environmental
applications is attracting great interest. However, potential side effects related to ChNP toxicity
remain the major limitation hampering ...
MicroRNAs as Potential Pharmaco-targets in Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Compounded by Diabetes.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Ischemia-Reperfusion (I/R) injury is the tissue damage that results from re-oxygenation of ischemic tissues. There are many players that contribute to I/R injury. One of these factors is the family of microRNAs (miRNAs), ...
