Single-cell and spatial profiling found localized immune and fibrotic changes in aged cardiac tissue.

Alterations in the Immune‐Fibrotic Axis Are Spatially Localized in the Aging Heart
Key Takeaways
  • Aged hearts have localized increases in pro-fibrotic signaling.
  • Immune cell changes were found co-localized with fibrotic alterations.
  • Findings were observational and have not established causation.
