Context: miRNAs can regulate the expression of genes by interfering in their mRNAs, acting as key regulators of diverse cellular activities. Osteoblast differentiation is an important process for skeletal developments and involves several mechanisms regulated by miRNAs. The data for this article was collected from recently published peer reviewed articles on role of miRNA in osteoblasts growth and differentiation. Evidence Acquisition: In this review, our understanding of bone remodeling has been highlighted along with the summarized role of different miRNA that regulate mesenchymal stem cell towards osteoblast differentiation for therapeutic purposes. Results: Treatments through miRNAs can prove to be beneficial due to its small size, easy synthesis, targeted and quick delivery. Conclusions: Further work is needed to be done to make miRNA treatments available to large number of people suffering from various bone diseases.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
