Transfer of exosomal microRNA-203-3p from dendritic cells to bone marrow-derived macrophages reduces development of atherosclerosis by downregulating Ctss in mice

Figure 9. The mechanism diagram shows that transfer of exosomal miR-203-3p from dendritic cells to BMDMs reduces BMDM-derived foam cells and the levels of TC, FC and CE by impairing Ctss expression, thus suppressing the development of atherosclerosis.
