Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD),which represents the leading cause of hepatic damage worldwide,is modulated by epigenetic factors, in particular microRNAs (miRNAs), which control at post-transcriptional level many complementary target mRNA. However, the evidence for this is inconsistent. The high stability and expression of circulating exosomal miRNAs may allow their use as candidate biomarkers. For the discovery phase,exosomes were isolated from the serum of patients...
