MicroRNA-378 limits activation of hepatic stellate cells and liver fibrosis by suppressing Gli3 expression

Liver fibrosis is a pathogenic driver of many liver diseases, so understanding its regulation might open the door to new therapies. Here the authors perform a screen for miRNA candidates and identify that miR-378 inhibits liver fibrosis in mice by interfering with Hedgehog signalling in hepatic stel...
