TAmiRNA shares microRNA biomarker insights at FIDELIO training webinar

2023-03-10T10:19:36+01:00April 9th, 2021|aging, biomarker, biomarkers, bone diseases, bone fracture risk assessment, diabetes, microRNAs, microstructure, osteoporosis, Personalized medicine, type 2 diabetes mellitus|Comments Off on TAmiRNA shares microRNA biomarker insights at FIDELIO training webinar

TAmiRNA is a key partner in the EU-funded Innovative Training Network FIDELIO, which aims to train the next generation of scientists in tackling the challenges of bone fragility in diabetic patients. The  webinar "MicroRNAs: small RNAs with big potential as biomarkers and drug targets in bone diseases" is a one-hour session hosted by TAmiRNA founder and CEO Dr. Matthias Hackl. He show how microRNAs control gene expression in virtually all human cells and that miRNA expression changes during the onset and progression of (bone) disorders enabling applications as biomarkers and drug targets. He introduce the biological and methodical basics of microRNA research and discuss diagnostic and therapeutic applications of microRNAs in bone disease. [...]

Circulating miRNAs in bone health and disease

2023-03-10T11:38:55+01:00January 19th, 2021|aging, biomarker, biomarkers, bone diseases, bone fracture risk assessment, microRNAs, microstructure, osteoporosis, Personalized medicine|Comments Off on Circulating miRNAs in bone health and disease

We want to draw your attention to our latest review which appeared in the special issue on miRNAs in Bone Research in Bone. In this review, we summarize important molecular basics of microRNA function and release and provide recommendations for best (pre-)analytical practices and documentation standards for circulating microRNA research required for generating high quality data and ensuring reproducibility of results. We review how the genesis of bone-derived circulating microRNAs via release from osteoblasts and osteoclasts could contribute to the communication between these cells and summarize evidence from clinical research studies that have investigated the clinical utility of microRNAs as biomarkers in musculoskeletal disorders. While previous reviews have mainly focused on diagnosis of primary osteoporosis, we have [...]

microRNA-146a controls age-related bone loss

2023-03-10T10:21:20+01:00November 24th, 2020|aging, biomarker, biomarkers, bone diseases, bone fracture risk assessment, microRNAs, microstructure, osteoporosis, Personalized medicine|Comments Off on microRNA-146a controls age-related bone loss

We want to draw your attention to the latest publication in cooperation with TAmiRNA. The study identifies a novel and unexpected role of miR‐146a in bone homeostasis. miR‐146a increases with age and acts as an epigenetic molecular switch terminating bone accrual, leading to bone loss during aging by downregulating bone anabolic Wnt signaling. Conversely, loss of miR‐146a leads to continuous bone accrual during aging as a result of unrestricted bone anabolism and intact Wnt signaling. Therefore, miR‐146a crucially controls the temporal facet of bone homeostasis. "microRNA-146a controls age-related bone loss" Saferding V, Hofmann M, Brunner JS, et al.

We would like to draw your attention to our lastest publication: “Cost-utility analysis of fracture risk assessment using microRNA compared with Standard Tools and no Monitoring in the Austrian female Population.” Bone. Volume 108, 2018; Pages 44-54. This study presents the first comprehensive attempt to model the cost-effectiveness of circulating microRNAs for bone fracture risk assessment in a central European female post-menopausal population in comparison to DXA and FRAX®. The results demonstrate that the osteomiR™ test can be a cost-effective alternative to established risk assessment strategies. Click here to read the study
