Harnessing microRNAs To Direct Bone and Cartilage Repair
Tissue engineering using stem cells represents a promising approach to repair bone damage caused by aging and trauma. However, the exact mechanisms behind the differentiation of skeletal stem cells have remained elusive.
Our expert speaker will discuss the increasing evidence that microRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate gene expression and orchestrate stem cell differentiation, which may help us to understand how to “crack the code” of stem cell differentiation.
He will also discuss how these miRNAs represent attractive targets for oligonucleotide therapy to stimulate bone and cartilage regeneration, a promising avenue for skeletal injury treatment.
