Abstract:
circRNAs (circular RNAs), a novel class of endogenous noncoding RNAs, play a key role in regulating growth and development of diseases. Recent studies confirmed that circRNAs were involved in regulating osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs (periodontal ligament stem cells) and BMSCs (bone marrow stem cells). This review focuses on the latest research progress of circRNAs in osteogenic differentiation, to help develop new therapies for bone diseases.
