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)...
