MicroRNA‐142 regulates osteoblast differentiation and apoptosis of mouse pre‐osteoblast cells by targeting bone morphogenetic protein 2

Osteoporosis is a common disease that can seriously impair the physical and mental health of the elderly. However, current treatment is unsatisfactory due to the lack of effective therapeutic targets. Abnormal expression and involvement of microRNA-142 (miR-142) have been identified in many diseases, including bone-related diseases. Herein, we explored the effect of miR-142 on the viability, differentiation and apoptosis of the mouse...
