Overview

Narrative review highlights the role of microRNAs in diabetic retinopathy, suggesting their potential as novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for vision loss.

Key Points

  • To review the biological functions of microRNAs and evaluate their contribution to the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
  • Synthesized findings from over a decade of research examining microRNA expression profiling, signaling networks, and molecular mechanisms in diabetic retinopathy.
  • MicroRNAs serve as critical non-coding regulatory elements that modulate complex signaling networks involved in diabetic retinal pathology.
  • Specific microRNA expression profiles demonstrate strong clinical potential as non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers and novel targets for drug discovery in diabetic eye disease.
