High microRNA-145 plasma levels are associated with decreased risk of future incident venous thromboembolism: the HUNT study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-13)MicroRNA-145 (miR-145) has been reported to downregulate the expression of tissue factor and factor XI in vitro and decrease venous thrombus formation in animal models. However, the association between miR-145 and risk of future venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the general population remains unknown. We investigated the association between plasma levels of miR-145 and risk of future VTE in a case-cohort ... -
