Young Investigator Abstract Session - Vascular

Background: Endothelial cell (EC) maladaptation to disturbed blood flow at predilection sites of atherosclerosis is characterized by inflammation and defective regeneration. The RNase Dicer is essential for the production of microRNAs, which play a crucial role in EC maladaptation. EC-derived Dicer promotes atherosclerosis and suppresses KLF4, Notch1, and Wnt signaling. While Dicer increases EC...
