IGF-1 degradation by mouse mast cell protease 4 promotes cell death and adverse cardiac remodeling days after a myocardial infarction Open
Significance Coronary heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. After acute myocardial infarction, early reperfusion limits infarct progression and improves clinical outcomes. However, despite reperfusion, the incidence of heart…
