Article Synopsis
- Methionine (Met) is important for modifying peptides because of its unique thioether group, but it's more difficult to functionalize than cysteine.
- Currently, there are not many strategies available for modifying the Met residue selectively.
- The authors present a new method that is transition-metal-free and redox-neutral for diversifying Met, which can also be used to create cyclic peptides.
Upregulation of miR-98 Inhibits Apoptosis in Cartilage Cells in Osteoarthritis.
Genet Test Mol Biomarkers
November 2016
Objective: We aimed to investigate the effects of microRNA-98 (miR-98) on apoptosis in cartilage cells of osteoarthritis (OA) patients.
Methods: Knee cartilage tissue samples were collected from 31 OA patients, 21 autopsies, and 26 amputation patients due to trauma. The clinicopathological data were recorded.
