Abstract
Background: Diabetes accelerates cellular ageing, contributing to disease development including cardiovascular diseases (CVD). MicroRNAs (miRs) are short, non-coding RNAs which modulate protein expression by negatively controlling RNA transcription, and are gaining interest due to their pathological role in CVD development. Recent studies showed activation of miR-34a in the ageing heart, contributing to age-related cardiac dysfunction. As...
