Long noncoding RNA XIST modulates microRNA-135/CREB1 axis to influence osteogenic differentiation of osteoblast-like cells in mice with tibial fracture healing
Fracture healing is a complex event with the involvement of many cell systems, cytokines, as well as mRNAs. Herein, we report the interactions among long noncoding RNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST)/mic...
