Unraveling the global microRNAome responses to ionizing radiation in human embryonic stem cells.
MicroRNAs (miRNA) comprise a group of short ribonucleic acid molecules implicated in regulation of key biological processes and functions at the post-transcriptional level.Ionizing radiation (IR) causes DNA damage and generally triggers cellular stress response.However, the role of miRNAs in IR-induced response in human embryonic stem cells (hESC)
