mesenchymal transition (EMT), tissue fibrosis, and angiogenesis are differentially expressed
in human primary pterygium. Genome-wide miRNA and mRNA expression profiling of
paired pterygium and normal conjunctiva was performed in the context of conventional
excision of pterygium with autotransplantation of conjunctiva (n= 8). Quantitative real time
polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to validate the expression of key molecules …
