Myocarditis, an inflammatory heart disease, causes cardiomyocyte loss leading to heart
failure. Research now shows that BMP4 is crucial for cardiac tissue homeostasis, and
targeted neutralization of BMP inhibitors GREM1 and GREM2 mitigates T cell-induced
myocardial inflammation and maintains cardiomyocyte integrity.
