Exosomal TIMP4 from myocardial cell relieves heart failure by influencing Th17/Treg Balance
TIMP4 overexpression exerts a protective effect in HF by inhibiting myocardial injury, inflammation, and apoptosis, and by regulating immune cell balance. These findings imply that targeting TIMP4 could potentially serve as a therapeutic strategy for HF, as it has the ability to regulate immune responses and minimize damage to the myocardium.
