11 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
STUDY DESIGN: A microRNA (miRNA) study using Solexa sequencing. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD)-specific miRNA expression profile, and to validate its biological function. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Accumulating evidence indicates that miRNAs play a critical role in IDD, but the role of specific miRNAs involved in this entity remains unclear. METHODS:...
