Since their initial discovery, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression that are able to modulate bone remodeling. Nonetheless, despite the peculiar and aggressive phenotype of pagetic osteoclasts and the associated increase in osteoblast activity, whether deregulation of miRNAs is involved in Paget’s disease of bone (PDB) remains unknown. Here, we performed a serum miRNA expression profile (Taqman Human MicroRNA Array...
