Exciting new study from @StefiVargasA and @MiaoCui_713 ! At the crossroads of regeneration, cardiology and immunology!
Extremely happy to share our latest work from the @Transactivator lab! We show that the immunosuppressive PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is active in neonatal mouse hearts and required for regeneration 🫀Huge thanks to co-author @MiaoCui_713 and all other authors! https://t.co/oVeVBnRgrv
