In need of age‐appropriate cardiac models: Impact of cell age on extracellular matrix therapy outcomes

Abstract excerpt

Aging is the main risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). As the world's population ages rapidly and CVD rates rise, there is a growing need for physiologically relevant models of aging hearts to better understand cardiac aging. Translational research relies heavily on young animal models; however, these models correspond to early ages in human life, therefore cannot fully capture the pathophysiology of...
