miRNA-Detektion bei Osteoblasten

Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) have been getting more and more attention over the last few years due to their great potential as biomarkers for diagnostic approaches. miRNAs in bone are still not well explored and their influence on the gene expression is not completely understood by now. Some studies show that miRNAs have an impact on bone formation. Thus, the following work was looking at the expression level of miR-100-5p in osteoblasts as potential influencer of bone formation.
