Long Noncoding RNA CIR Promotes Chondrocyte Extracellular Matrix Degradation in Osteoarthritis by Acting as a Sponge For Mir-27b
Background/Aims: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degradation. The degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of chondrocyte is closely associated with the destruction of joints in OA patients. lncRNAs are non-coding segments of RNA that pos...
