Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) and trends of osteoarthritis (OA) in various regions globally from 1990 to 2019.
- According to the findings, knee OA is particularly prevalent in Asia, while America has the highest overall OA burden, especially for hip and hand OA.
- The research indicates significant changes in OA prevalence across different continents, highlighting the need for effective prevention and management strategies to tackle modifiable risk factors.
Article Synopsis
- - MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by binding to messenger RNAs (mRNAs), playing a crucial role in autoimmune diseases.
- - Changes in miRNA expression levels have been linked to various autoimmune conditions, making them potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for treatments.
- - This review focuses on the biological functions of miRNAs, their involvement in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, as well as the therapeutic strategies and challenges in this area.
