Deletion of the Mir-106b~ 25 MicroRNA cluster attenuates atherosclerosis in Apolipoprotein E knockout mice
Abstract Background MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. The aim of this study was to gain an understanding of the possible role of the miR-106b~ 25 microRNA cluster in regulating atherosclerosis in mice. Methods MiR-106b~ 25 knockout mice were outcrossed into Apolipopr...
