Dysfunction of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is associated with the onset of cardiovascular disorders. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have been recognized as novel biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets. Here, we examined the role of miR-26a overexpression in atherosclerosis and explored the underlying mechanisms.
