Abstract excerpt
Changes in haemodynamic forces in the vascular system result in an altered expression of miRs, which play important gene-regulatory roles by pairing to the mRNAs of protein-coding genes to fine-tune post-transcriptional repression. The development and structure of blood vessels are highly adapted to haemodynamic forces, such as shear stress, cyclic stretch, and circumferential wall stress, generated by the...
