Key result
Immune cells emerge as promising therapeutic targets in cardiovascular diseases.
Why the study?
The functions of the immune system in cardiovascular diseases have historically been under-appreciated, partly due to the difficulty of detecting immune cells within the living human cardiovascular system.
The immune system plays a complex and essential role in both normal cardiac function and the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, making immune cells promising therapeutic targets.
