miR-33a-5p modulates TNF-α-inhibited osteogenic differentiation by targeting SATB2 expression in hBMSCs.

abstract：:The assembly of iron-sulfur (Fe/S) clusters in a living cell is mediated by a complex machinery which, in eukaryotes, is localised within mitochondria. Here, we report on a new component of this machinery, the protein Isa2p of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The protein shares sequence similarity with yeast Isa1p ...
