T cells in cardiac health and disease

Journal of Clinical Investigation - Cardiology

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with inflammation playing a pivotal role in its pathogenesis. Understanding the intricate interplay between T cells and cardiovascular pathology is essential for developing novel immunotherapeutic strategies against CVD.
