The book provides an in-depth and comprehensive overview of the essential role of non-coding RNAs (nc RNAs) in bone formation. In combination with researches from multiple scholars in this field, the book reviews the mechanisms of nc RNA-related bone diseases, as well as the potential applications of RNA synthesis technology in bone disorder treatments. This volume covers the following topics: 1) basic introduction of non-coding RNA and bone development, how 2) micro RNAs and 3) long noncoding RNAs (Lnc RNAs) regulate bone formation, 4) how nc RNAs and the corresponding pathways participate in bone metabolism diseases, 5) RNA synthesis technology and the possible RNA therapies in bone disease. Researchers and students in the fields of human genetics, human physiology, developmental biology and biomedical engineering, as well as professionals and scientists in Orthopedics, will particularly find this book helpful.
