Aging Muscle Stem Cells Trade Speed for Survival | Science News
Scientists at UCLA discovered that NDRG1, a protein that accumulates in aging muscle stem cells, acts like a brake on muscle repair—but paradoxically protects these cells from the stresses of aging. Blocking NDRG1 in older mice restored youthful muscle healing speed, but at the cost of reduced stem cell survival over time, revealing a delicate trade-off between regeneration and longevity that could reshape how we approach age-related muscle decline.
