Identifying potential biomarkers for mild COVID-19 in saliva by miRNA profiling using NGS and ddPCR.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by targeting messenger RNA (mRNA). Due to this regulatory function, viruses often modulate host miRNA expression to facilitate their own replication. Conversely, host cells regulate miRNA expression to activate the immune system respons...
