Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Immune responses after MI orchestrate injury, repair, and cardiac remodeling. • Neutrophils and macrophages dominate early inflammation and debris clearance. • Adaptive immune cells regulate resolution, fibrosis, and scar maturation. • Single-cell and spatial omics reveal diverse immune cell subsets after MI. • Immune–stromal interactions shape angiogenesis, fibrosis, and tissue repair. • Precision immunomodulation emerges as a promising strategy for MI therapy.
