Abstract excerpt
Meniscus tears are common knee injuries and a major osteoarthritis (OA) risk factor. Knowledge gaps that limit the development of therapies for meniscus injury and degeneration concern transcription factors that control the meniscus cell phenotype. Analysis of RNA sequencing data from 37 human tissues in the Genotype-Tissue Expression database and RNA sequencing data from meniscus and articular cartilage showed...
