The microRNA miR-106b contributes to osteoporosis by negatively regulating osteoblast differentiation and bone formation via the bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP2) signalling pathway, according to new research. In vitro, miR-106b negatively regulated osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. Mice with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) expressed
