Neutrophil microvesicles drive atherosclerosis by delivering miR-155 to atheroprone endothelium

The role of neutrophils in the development of atherosclerosis has long been an enigma, with few neutrophils detected within the plaque. Here, the authors show that microvesicles released from neutrophils increase vascular inflammation and enhance atherosclerotic plaque formation through delivery of...
