Scientists rewind heart ageing using lab-grown scaffold that mimics young tissue

Scientists developed DECIPHER, a lab-grown material that could reverse heart aging by focusing on the extracellular matrix. This scaffold mimics youthful tissue, causing aged heart cells cultured on it to exhibit younger characteristics. The findings suggest that restoring biochemical signals in aging hearts could improve function over time, potentially opening new avenues for preserving heart health and studying aging in other tissues.
