Abstract excerpt
Following acute myocardial ischemia reperfusion (MIR), macrophages infiltrate damaged cardiac tissue and alter their polarization phenotype to respond to acute inflammation and chronic fibrotic remodeling. In this study we investigated the role of macrophages in post-ischemic myocardial fibrosis and explored therapeutic targets for myocardial fibrosis. Male mice were subjected to ligation of the left coronary...
