PHAGOCYTOSIS ASSAY OF NECROPTOTIC CELLS BY CARDIAC MYOFIBROBLASTS

Phagocytosis Assay of Necroptotic Cells by Cardiac Myofibroblasts

In myocardial infarction (MI), a plenty of cardiomyocytes undergo necrosis and necroptosis due to the lack of oxygen and nutrients.The dead cardiomyocytes are promptly engulfed by phagocytes.When wx gloves the dead cells are not engulfed, the noxious contents of the cells are released outside, and thus, induce inflammation, and obstruct the functio
