| Research Abstract |
This study aimed to induce bone regeneration by inhibiting signaling factors that worked as inhibitors in osteogenic signaling pathway, focusing on BMP, hedgehog, Wnt, and Runx2 signaling pathways. We generated 11 siRNAs for those factors and confirmed that each siRNA knocked down target genes. Among them, the combination of siRNAs that shows promising effects on osteogenic differentiation is being examined in animal bone defect model.
