Ageing Causes Ultrastructural Modification to Calcium Release Units and Mitochondria in Cardiomyocytes
Ageing is associated with an increase in the incidence of heart failure, even if the existence of a real age-related cardiomyopathy remains controversial. Effective contraction and relaxation of cardiomyocytes depend on efficient production of ATP (handled by mitochondria) and on proper Ca<sup>...
