Abstract:
MicroRNAs as a novel class of endogenous gene regulators at post-transcription level have been found to play important roles in many biological processes including cellular differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and regulation of development. The biological mechanisms of microRNAs involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases have been revealed gradually. This paper reviews the Current situation and progress on the microRNAs and their roles in vascular diseases.
