Hingston: In a new study, scientists have discovered how muscles try to keep themselves active as they age.
This research will help to understand the rapid aging of muscle fibers as well as to identify the mechanisms that muscles use to cope with aging.
The researchers say that the research findings will hopefully lead to the development of future therapies and treatments to improve muscle health and quality of life with aging.
Veronica Cadlin, lead author of the study at the Wellcome Singer Institute in the UK, said scientists’ unbiased, multidisciplinary approach to studying muscle aging would clarify the unknown cellular mechanisms of aging and space for further research. Is.
“The population is aging in China, the UK and other countries, but our understanding of aging is limited,” said senior author Professor Hongbo Zheng from Sun Yat-sen University in China. After this research, scientists have a detailed understanding of how muscles try to function as well as possible as they age.
Scientists from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Sun Yat-sen University examined muscle samples from 17 people between the ages of 20 and 75.
Research published in the journal Nature Aging describes new groups of cells that may shed light on why some muscle fibers age faster than others.
