MicroRNA modulate alveolar epithelial response to cyclic stretch

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression implicated in multiple cellular processes. Cyclic stretch of alveoli is characteristic of mechanical ventilation, and is postulated to be partly responsible fo...
