For instance, accumulating evidence suggests that miR-21 and miR-96 are involved in regulating schistosome-induced liver fibrosis through the classical TGF-β1/small mothers against decapentaplegic (SMAD) signaling pathway (He et al., 2015; Luo et al., 2018; Kong et al., 2019). Here, TGFB1 is linked to Hepatic fibrosis.
