News Release 29-Jul-2024 Peer-Reviewed PublicationXia & He Publishing Inc. image: Upregulation of miR21 during APAP hepatotoxicity inhibits hepatocyte proliferation by downregulating the β-catenin signaling pathway. Additionally, miR21 overexpression affects liver repair by inducing changes in gene expression, leading to the downregulation of autophagy and haemostasis. APAP, acetaminophen. The liver, a vital organ involved in numerous...
