Regulation of microRNA function in somatic stem cell proliferation and differentiation

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute an essential part of the gene networks that drive proliferation, viability and differentiation of stem and progenitor cells across different somatic lineages. Upstream of ...

MiR-26a functions oppositely in osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and ADSCs depending on distinct activation and roles of Wnt and BMP signaling pathway

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) emerge as important regulators of stem cell lineage commitment and bone development. MiRNA-26a (miR-26a) is one of the important miRNAs regulating osteogenic differentiation of both ...
