Heart failure triggers multimorbidity by altering stem cells, study reveals

Researchers identified that heart failure (HF) promotes multimorbidity by altering hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to produce pro-inflammatory macrophages, increasing vulnerability in multiple organs. The study highlights the role of suppressed TGF-β signaling in these alterations, contributing to chronic inflammation and subsequent health issues.
