Drosophila—commonly known as fruit flies—are a valuable model for human heart pathophysiology, including cardiac aging and cardiomyopathy. However, a choke point in evaluating fruit fly hearts ...

Middle-aged hearts retain some degree of cardiac plasticity, and may represent a more optimal time—or quite simply the last time—to intervene.

"As we get older and cardiac cells get bigger, the body compensates by making ... "Making sure the communication between cells remains high during aging appears to occur naturally to keep ...

On average, people with health conditions may have hearts nearly five years older than their actual age, with some extreme cases showing decades of premature cardiac aging. This understanding ...
