18 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
STUDY DESIGN: A microRNA (miRNA) study. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD)-specific miRNAs, followed by functional validation of results. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: IDD is the major contributor to back radicular pain, and the molecular mechanisms underlying this disease are not completely understood. Accumulating evidence suggests that miRNAs play an...
