MicroRNA-33 protects against neointimal hyperplasia induced by arterial mechanical stretch in the grafted vein

Conclusion</div>The miR-33-BMP3-smad signalling pathway protects against venous SMC proliferation in response to the arterial stretch. miR-33 is a target that attenuates neointimal hyperplasia in grafted vessels and may have potential clinical applications.</span>
