Increasing evidence suggests that IGFBP7 may be an accurate biomarker for heart failure. A new study shows that beyond its diagnostic value, IGFBP7 may drive the detrimental effects of pressure overload in mice by a mechanism that, at least in part, involves the regulation of senescence by an IGF-1R–IR–FOXO3a signaling cascade.
