Stage-Specific miRs in Chondrocyte Maturation: Differentiation-Dependent and Hypertrophy-Related miR Clusters and the miR-181 Family
3 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) differentiating toward the chondrogenic lineage recapitulate successive phases of embryonic chondrocyte maturation developing from progenitor cells to hypertrophic chondrocytes. Osteoarthritic cartilage is characterized by an alteration in chondrocyte metabolism and upregulation of hypertrophic differentiation markers. A number of studies point toward a functional role for...
