MicroRNA124 and microRNA21-5p regulate migration, proliferation and differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells that can be a useful source of cells for the treatment of many diseases, including neurologic diseases. The curative effect of MSCs relies mostly on cell’s capacity of migration, proliferation and differentiation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play important roles on regulating various cell behaviors. Here, we report that miRNA-124 (miR124) and miRNA-21-5p (miR21-5p)...
