Optimization of reference gene panels for gene expression analysis in preclinical models of inflammatory skin diseases.

abstract：:Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin disease in which the balance in the interplay of immune cells and keratinocytes is disturbed. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small regulatory RNAs that stabilize cellular phenotypes and fine-tune signal transduction feedback loops through the regulation of gene networks. ...
