Brief description Ischemic heart injury mediated by the inflammatory response has a significant impact on the prognosis. MIF is a central factor mediating and amplifying the inflammatory response but its role in heart disease remains largely untested. This project will study, for the first time, the crucial role of MIF in ischemic heart disease and will establish important experimental evidence for developing new anti-inflammation therapeutic strategies against ischemic heart injury.
