Angiogenic factor induced by ER stress promotes tissue repair after myocardial infarction

Nature Cardiovascular Research volume 3, pages 108–109 (2024)Cite this article

Subjects

Myocardial infarction causes endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, thereby triggering the release of a set of poorly defined growth factors. A study shows that the growth factor CRELD2 is secreted in response to ER stress and is required for preserving heart function after myocardial infarction in mice.
