Neutrophil degranulation interconnects over-represented biological processes in atrial fibrillation

Abstract Despite our expanding knowledge about the mechanism underlying atrial fibrillation (AF), the interplay between the biological events underlying AF remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to identify the functionally enriched gene-sets in AF and capture their interconnection via pi...
