Philip Wenzel: The Role of MyD88 in the Inflammatory Transition from Hypertension to Heart Failure
Philip Wenzel, Director of the Medical Clinic I, Darmstadt Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, adding:
“After so many years in the making, our paper is finally out!
Very proud to have it published as editor’s choice in EHJOpen… starting off as Sabine’s PhD thesis, it evolved into a truely translational project spanning from genetic mouse models to a GWAS of 15y follow-up to pinpoint the role of MyD88 for the inflammatory transition from Hypertension to Heart Failure.
Enjoy the read!”
