Description

The study identifies two distinct endothelial cell types with different mitophagy-related gene scores but doesn’t explain what drives this heterogeneity or how it functionally impacts HIRI outcomes. Understanding these mechanisms could reveal targeted therapeutic approaches for protecting specific endothelial populations.
