Identification of Collagen 1 as a Post-transcriptional Target of miR-29b in Skin Fibroblasts: Therapeutic Implication for Scar Reduction

Our data indicate that miR-29b is a potent post-transcriptional repressor of collagen 1 in skin fibroblasts and its deregulation might be implicated in scar formation, suggesting that miR-29b might represent a potential therapeutic target for scar reduction.
