Effects of endothelial progenitor cell therapy on microrna expression profiles in plasma, platelets and platelet-derived microvesicles in atherosclerosis

Background and Aims: The purpose was to investigate the effects of transplantation of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) on expressed profiles of miRNAs in plasma, platelets and platelet-derived microvesicles (PMVs) obtained from experimental induced atherosclerosis animal model.
