Transforming Growth Factor-β1-induced Human Subconjunctival Fibrosis is Mediated by MicroRNA 143/145 Expression.

abstract：PURPOSE:The potential of stem cells (SCs) as a source for cell-based therapy on a wide range of degenerative diseases and damaged tissues such as retinal degeneration has been recognized. Generation of a high number of retinal stem cells (RSCs) in vitro would thus be beneficial for transplantation in the retina. Howeve...
