Inflammation is the body's response to injuries, which depends on numerous regulatory factors. Among them, miRNAs have gained much attention for their role in regulating inflammatory gene expression at multiple levels. In particular, miR-21 is up-regulated during the inflammatory response and reported to be involved in the resolution of inflammation by down-regulating pro-inflammatory mediators, including MyD88.

- * The research investigated the impact of cadmium chloride (CdCl) on chondrocyte viability and gene expression, finding that higher doses resulted in reduced cell survival and increased markers of cell death.
- * Seleno-methionine (Se-Met) was shown to protect chondrocytes from CdCl damage by improving cell survival and reducing harmful gene expression, suggesting dietary interventions may help mitigate the effects of toxic environmental pollutants.
