Nat Rev Rheumatol. 2013 Feb;9(2):76-8. doi: 10.1038/nrrheum.2012.236. Epub 2013 Jan 15.

Abstract

A number of microRNAs have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various rheumatic diseases, and evidence in support of the therapeutic potential of microRNA-based strategies for these conditions is growing, as demonstrated by several new findings published in 2012.
