Altering inflammation can impact the recovering heart's structure and function following myocardial infarction (MI). MAP kinase-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2) regulates the stability of several pro-inflammatory cytokines. Hence, this study was to determine if MK2 deficiency impaired the inflammatory phase of post-MI wound repair. Myocardial infarctions were induced by permanent ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery in 12-week-old male MK2 Show less
