Deciphering the role of circulating inflammatory proteins in myocarditis: Novel strategies for targeted therapy
Elevated circulating LIF levels may be causally linked to increased myocarditis risk, supporting its potential as both a predictive biomarker and a therapeutic target. These results provide a rationale for further experimental studies to clarify the context-dependent roles of LIF in myocardial inflammation and to evaluate LIF-directed interventions.
