Smooth muscle miRNAs are critical for post-natal regulation of blood pressure and vascular function.

Smooth muscle miRNAs are critical for post-natal regulation of blood pressure and vascular function.

Phenotypic modulation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in vascular disease, including atherosclerosis. Several transcription factors have been suggested to regulate phenotypic modulation of SMCs but the decisive mechanisms remain unknown. Recent reports suggest that specific microRNAs...
