Conjunctival MicroRNA expression in inflammatory trachomatous scarring.
<h4>Purpose</h4>Trachoma is a fibrotic disease of the conjunctiva initiated by Chlamydia trachomatis infection. This blinding disease affects over 40 million people worldwide yet the mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis remain poorly understood. We have investigated host microRNA (miR)...
