Among others, studies identifying the biological role of microRNAs (miRNAs) have paved the way for future inquiries on the importance and biological significance of non-coding RNAs. In this review, we provide an overview of miRNAs\u2019 biology and their contribution to the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). This complication of diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults, affecting more than 4 million people in the US alone and over 103 million people worldwide. Despite the tremendous efforts of the scientific community and the pharmaceutical industry, the development of new, more effective therapeutic and diagnostic tools for DR to date remains an unmet need. More than a decade from the initial work assessing miRNA expression profiles in diabetic patients, we have learned the impact of these signaling molecules in DR and garnered knowledge of their complexity and their potential as new diagnostic and therapeutic targets for this potentially blinding condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom16081199","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,17]],"date-time":"2026-08-17T10:04:36Z","timestamp":1786961076000},"page":"1199","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["MicroRNAs: A Social Network in Diabetic Retinopathy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Sheila","family":"Ngumbi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, Augusta, GA 30912, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3473-7062","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed S.","family":"Gad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, Augusta, GA 30912, USA"},{"name":"Department of Medical Histology and Cell Biology, Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University, Mansoura 35516, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0253-0112","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kara","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, LSU Health, New Orleans, LA 70112, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9165-5966","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI 48201, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christie","family":"Taylor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, Augusta, GA 30912, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6185-8815","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mostafa","family":"Mahrous","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, Augusta, GA 30912, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manuela","family":"Bartoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, Augusta, GA 30912, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Betz, U.A.K.
