Protein regulates aging-related markers in rat heart cells
Experiments in a rat heart muscle precursor cell line linked a gene-regulating protein to aging-related markers after researchers stimulated the cells’ recycling process.Experiments in a rat heart muscle precursor cell line linked a gene-regulating protein to aging-related markers after researchers stimulated the cells’ recycling process.

What changedTbx20 stimulated expression of aging-related markers in rat heart precursor cells
The catchThe abstract reports molecular markers, not improvements in heart function or lifespan
