MicroRNAs in Synovial Pathology Associated With Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis, a disease that affects the entire joint. The relative involvement of each tissue, and their interactions, add to the complexity of OA, hampering our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms, and the generation of a disease modifyi...
