HDL-miRNA cargo and its delivery to target cells can be altered by different disease states and may be responsible for some disease sequelae. A common disease sequela of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is cardiovascular (CV) disease, which is increased two-fold, but underlying mechanisms are unclear. A potential mechanism is deliver... |
