Differential Expression of <i>HOX</i> Genes in Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Osteoarthritic Patients Is Independent of Their Promoter Methylation

Differential Expression of <i>HOX</i> Genes in Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Osteoarthritic Patients Is Independent of Their Promoter Methylation

Skeletogenesis, remodeling, and maintenance in adult tissues are regulated by sequential activation of genes coding for specific transcription factors. The conserved Homeobox genes (<i>HOX</i>, in humans) are involved in several skeletal pathologies. Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized...
