Kind: research · Impact: low

## In 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.
