Extracellular vesicle YRNA in atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is characterized by lipid accumulation and chronic inflammation. The accumulation of apoptotic foam cells can induce the secretion of proinflammatory factors and necrosis of atherosclerotic plaque tissue. Numerous studies have demonstrated that extracellular vesicle (EV)-enclosed YRNAs and their fragments, YsRNAs, play important roles in atherosclerosis initiation, progression, and diagnosis. YsRNA-5p transcripts promote foam...
