Research Abstract |
We investigated the effects of Interluekin-11 (IL-11) on preventing cardiac remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI). As results, IL-11 prevented cardiac remodeling through STAT3 pathway following MI. The results of this study will propose the possibility of IL-11 as a novel cytokine therapy to prevent heart failure.
