Project Description Diabetes induces vascular complications that greatly increase morbidity and mortality but are not attenuated by proper control of blood glucose. We previously demonstrated that diabetes increases two co-transcribed microRNAs, miR-221-3p and miR-222-3p (miR-221/222), in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to promote intimal thickening. Diabetic VSMC-derived exosomes (DVEs) contain elevated levels of these miRNAs […]
