Researchers Identify Key Signaling Pathway Driving Muscle Cell Aging
BUFFALO, NY — June 23, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging on May 28, 2026, titled “p38MAP kinase regulates senescence in human iPS-derived myocytes.” The study was led by first author Hiroki Sato and corresponding author Ryuichiro Sato from The University of Tokyo, along with corresponding author Makoto Shimizu from The University of Tokyo and Ochanomizu University. As people age, skeletal muscle gradually loses strength, mass, and function, contributing to frailty, reduced mobility, and an increased risk of falls. Although cellular senescence is widely…
