Platelet impacts on recruitment, gene expression and functional capacities of innate immune cells post myocardial infarction (A06)

• Subject Area: Cardiology, Angiology ; Immunology
• Term: since 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 453989101

This project aims to investigate the role of platelet/immune cell interactions in the production, trafficking, differentiation, gene expression, and functional capacities of innate immune cells (monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils) after myocardial infarction and the way these interactions affect ischemic heart repair.
