The functions of immune system-derived miRNAs in cardiovascular diseases by Albert Sufianov, Murad Agaverdiev, Andrey Mashkin, Tatiana Ilyasova

“…MicroRNAs (miRNAs), particularly those derived from the immune system, have emerged as vital regulators of cellular functions within the cardiovascular landscape. This review focuses on ''immuno-miRs,'' a class of miRNAs that are highly expressed in immune cells, including T cells, B cells, NK cells, neutrophils, and monocytes/macrophages, and their significant role in controlling immune signaling pathways. …”
