Abstract excerpt
Cardiac remodeling caused by acute myocardial infarction (AMI) represents a major challenge for heart failure research. MiR-155 has been identified as a key mediator of cardiac inflammation and hypertrophy. In this study, we investigate the role of miR-155 in cardiac remodeling induced by AMI. We demonstrate that miR-155 expressed in cardiac fibroblasts is a potent contributor to cardiac remodeling. We reveal...
