Identification of microRNA biomarkers simultaneously expressed in circulating extracellular vesicles and atherosclerotic plaques

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The early detection of plaques by circulating biomarkers is highly clinically relevant to prevent the occurrence of major complications such as stroke or heart attacks. BackgroundAtherosclerosis is a widespread disorder of the cardiovascular system.
