The lncRNA MEG3 downregulation leads to osteoarthritis progression via miR-16/SMAD7 axis

Abstract Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease and there is no a definitive cure at present. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been confirmed to play important roles in the development of OA. However, the underlying mechanism of lncRNA maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) in OA h...
