<h4>Rationale</h4>Aging represents a major risk factor for coronary artery disease and aortic aneurysm formation. MicroRNAs (miRs) have emerged as key regulators of biological processes, but their role in age-associated vascular pathologies is unknown.<h4>Objective</h4>We aim to identify miRs in the vasculature that are regulated by age and play a role in age-induced vascular pathologies.<h4>Methods and results</h4>Expression profiling of aortic tissue of young versus old mice identified several ...[more]
