Identification of key microRNAs in the carotid arteries of ApoE−/− mice exposed to disturbed flow

Abstract Background Atherosclerosis (AS) is one of the main causes of cardiovascular disease. AS plaques often occur in blood vessels with oscillatory blood flow and their formation can be regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs). The aim of this study is to identify the key miRNAs and molecular pathways inv...
