Using transcriptome sequencing for differentially expressed ncRNAs mRNAs between days 0 21 of BMSCs, we found that microRNA (miRNA) miR-503-5p significantly...
Abstract Impaired autophagy is reported to promote osteoarthritis (OA). However, the mechanism by which in regulating meniscus degeneration and OA remains unclear. Here, unconvered aberrant energetic metabolism pattern cells with uncovered first, results lower adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. And these phenomena are induced impaired OA. It further revealed that suppression of m 6 A demethylase fat mass obesity‐associated protein (FTO) inhibits causing ATP production reducing...
Chondrocyte senescence play an essential role in osteoarthritis (OA) progression. Recent studies have shown that snoRNA-derived RNA fragments (sdRNAs) are novel regulators of post-transcriptional gene expression.
