These small RNAs play important roles in tissue development, cell differentiation and proliferation, lipid and fat metabolism, stem cells, exocytosis, diseases and cancers. To date, relatively little is known about functions of miRNAs in the lung except lung cancer. SN - 1471-2164 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2164-8-29 DO - 10.1186/1471-2164-8-29 ID - Wang2007 ER -
