Title: Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) in innate immune cell response in viral myocarditis
Summary: The overall goal of the proposal is to provide a mechanistic understanding of circulating DBP as a biomarker that predicts risk of HF from myocarditis and determine whether therapies targeting DBP could reduce disease and/or prevent progression to heart failure.
