Abstract

This commentary highlights the findings by Tao et al. (Theranostics 2016; 6: 2068-2083) that targeting miR-433 may be a potential therapeutic strategy for myocardial fibrosis and subsequently discusses the obstacles and prospects associated with the application of therapeutic microRNAs in anti-fibrosis treatment.

Keywords: Cardiac fibrosis, microRNAs, Therapeutic targets.
