MiR-29 family: another “cogwheel” in myocardial remodeling

In recent years small non-coding RNAs such as miRNAs have been identified as important molecular players in the process of pathological cardiac remodeling (1). Cardiac remodeling is one of the major alterations in the heart structure that causes a hemodynamic imbalance leading to change in the dimension, mass, shape and function of the heart.
