Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Over the past two decades, multiple studies have established the importance of miRNAs in regulating a variety of biological processes, one of which includes regenerative repair. Although many miRNAs have been shown to regulate the expression of genes that are required for regeneration, few studies have extrapolated these findings from cell culture to in vivo animal models or reported comparative work between regenerating and non-regenerating systems. Here, we review the most current literature highlighting the role of distinct miRNAs in regulating the repair of different tissues, focusing on the heart, limb and spinal cord. In exploring existing work, we emphasize the importance of using animal models to provide foundational knowledge that could potentially lead to future therapeutic strategies to allow for functional regenerative repair in humans.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
