New editorial in JACC: Basic to Translational Science

Tobias’ invited editorial “Translating Translation: Protein-Coding CircRNAs as Potential Therapeutical Targets in Coronary Artery Disease” in JACC: Basic to Translational Science has been published! The editorial comments on the recent study “CircBTBD7-420aa Encoded by hsa_circ_0000563 Regulates the Progression of Atherosclerosis and Construction of circBTBD7-420aa Engineered Exosomes” by Gan et al. and highlights the translation of circBTBD7 into a functional peptide that can regulate the progression of atherosclerosis. The editorial also discusses techniques and approaches required to validate translation of circRNAs based on computational predictions.
