miRNA-221 and miRNA-222 synergistically function to promote vascular calcification: MIR221/222 PROMOTE VASCULAR CALCIFICATION (2013)
Journal Article
Mackenzie, N. C. W., Staines, K. A., Zhu, D., Genever, P., & MacRae, V. E. (2014). miRNA-221 and miRNA-222 synergistically function to promote vascular calcification: MIR221/222 PROMOTE VASCULAR CALCIFICATION. Cell Biochemistry and Function, 32(2), 209-21

Vascular calcification shares many similarities with skeletal mineralisation and involves the phenotypic trans-differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to osteoblastic cells within a calcified environment. Various microRNAs (miRs) are... Read More about miRNA-221 and miRNA-222 synergistically function to promote vascular calcification: MIR221/222 PROMOTE VASCULAR CALCIFICATION.
