New Insights Into the Mechanisms of Sarcopenia
Listen to a blog summary of a trending research paper published by Aging (Aging-US) in Volume 14, Issue 22, entitled, “Denervation induces mitochondrial decline and exacerbates lysosome dysfunction in middle-aged mice.” ________________________________________________________ A hallmark characteristic of aging is the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, known as sarcopenia. A process called motor neuron denervation (Den)—when nerve signals to muscles are blocked or reduced—leads to muscle atrophy, fatigue and eventually muscle loss. Determining how and when Den events influence older…
