Abstract
MicroRNA-145 (miR-145) has known anti-tumor properties and has been reported to be involved in regulating corneal epithelium differentiation. The exact role of miR-145 in ocular tissue remains unclear. In this study, we evaluate the effect of miR-145 expression levels on pterygium properties.
