LncRNA XIST regulates atherosclerosis progression in ox-LDL-induced HUVECs
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been verified as vital regulators in human disease, including atherosclerosis. However, the precise role of X-inactive-specific transcript (XIST) in atherosclerosis remains unclear. The proliferation and apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)...

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been verified as vital regulators in human disease, including atherosclerosis.
