Description

Shuang Liang and co-authors study a small RNA in bone fracture healing in a 2025 paper. Pilon fractures are severe ankle injuries that often heal slowly. The RNA, called miR-3651, was little understood in this setting.

The team measured miR-3651 and its target gene KRAS in patient samples. Levels of the RNA ran high in the slow-healing group, while KRAS ran low. The RNA separated slow from normal healing well and counted as a risk factor. Blocking it in cells cut bone-eating cell activity and aided bone-forming cells. A reporter test confirmed the RNA targets KRAS directly.
