Where this comes from

Abstract

The search for eternal youth is age old. In a recent Nature paper, Boon et al. (2013) describe DNA damage mechanisms and cardiac senescence provoked by miR-34a and its target, PNUTS. Interrupting this pathway may prevent age- and stress-induced cardiac degeneration.
