Circulating Exosomal miRNAs as Novel Biomarkers Perform Superior Diagnostic Efficiency Compared With Plasma miRNAs for Large-Artery Atherosclerosis Stroke

Recently, exosomal miRNAs have been reported to be associated with some diseases, and these miRNAs can be used for diagnosis and treatment. However, diagnostic biomarkers of exosomal miRNAs for ischemic stroke have rarely been studied. In the present study, we aimed to identify exosomal miRNAs that...
