The role of microRNAs in the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2015
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are a group of rare autoimmune disorders characterized by skeletal muscle weakness and inflammation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate a wide range of developmental and physiological cellular processes. New approaches to investigating the mechanisms involved in IIM, such as investigating the role of miRNAs, are ...
