Abstract:Background
Macroautophagy is a highly conserved cellular process in which cytoplasmic materials are internalized into an autophagosome that later fuses with a lysosome for their degradation and recycling. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are integral regulators in a variety of cellular processes and are known to regulate autophagy, and miRNA and autophagy both play roles in the regulation of endothelial function. Accordingly, we hypothesize that miRNA miR‐378‐3p is an essential regulator of endothelial autophagy and endothe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
