Abstract

Introduction: Inflammation following myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/R) plays a significant role in damaging cardiomyocytes and influencing infarct size, with neutrophils being the most rapid and numerous cells recruited to the myocardium post reperfusion. Single-cell RNA sequencing data identified neutrophils with upregulated type I interferon (IFN) signaling in the hearts of mice 24 hours post-MI/R.
