Paper

Abstract

Aging is a major, yet unmodifiable, cardiovascular risk factor and is associated with vascular alterations, increased cardiac fibrosis, and inflammation, all of which contribute to impaired cardiac function. However, the microenvironment inciting age-related alterations within the multicellular architecture of the cardiac tissue is unknown.
