Circulating miR-10b-5p drives Kawasaki vasculitis via endothelial reprogramming and nominates CXCL8 as an early diagnostic biomarker
Nature ·
The Brief
- A study reports that circulating miR-10b-5p drives Kawasaki vasculitis via endothelial reprogramming.
- The study nominates CXCL8 as an early diagnostic biomarker for the disease.
Why it matters
It identifies a candidate circulating microRNA and a chemokine biomarker that could inform early diagnosis of Kawasaki disease, though the source gives no details on validation.
