Therapeutic interference with the immune response after myocardial infarction holds the potential to close a clinically relevant gap. Here, the authors show that inhibition of a cardiomyocyte-specific ADAM10 / CX3CL1 axis improves post infarction survival and cardiac function by attenuating neutrophil-mediated myocardial damage.
