Snail, a transcription factor, plays a crucial role during osteogenic differentiation by acting as a direct repressor of Runx2

Abstract

Snail, a zinc-finger transcription factor, is implicated in processes that involve cell differentiation, cell motility, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. However, little is known about its role in osteogenesis or osteoblast differentiation. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the role of Snail in osteogenic differentiation.
