Addressing unproven theories spanning for more than a decade, we demonstrate that specific pieces of genetic material called microRNAs are transported from the blood into the lining of blood vessels of the lung to promote a deadly disease called pulmonary hypertension.

In this issue Zhao et al uses #parabiosis of the circulatory systems to demonstrate that #miR210 originating from the #blood localizes to #lung #endothelium and promotes #Pulmonary Hypertension https://t.co/feCrX42kkm
