Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Scientists have identified previously unreported genes which appear to play a key role in the muscle aging process. It is hoped that the findings from a Nottingham Trent University study could be used to help delay the impact of the aging process. The study, which also involved Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, Karolinska...

Getting around muscle aging by modulating the function of immune cells
by Instituto de Medicina Molecular Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Muscle is able to regenerate through a process that involves multiple steps and players, including the immune system. As our organism ages, the muscles lose the capacity to regenerate. Now, a new study led by Joana Neves and Pedro Sousa-Victor, group leaders at the Instituto de...

RNAging: An exercise-regulated noncoding RNA counteracts muscle aging
by Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne Credit: CC0 Public Domain In a joint, collaborative effort between laboratories at EPFL, NTNU Norway, and CBMR Denmark, researchers examined the molecular effect of exercise upon noncoding RNA genes in skeletal muscle in Science Translational Medicine. In this study, they discovered the long noncoding RNA “CYTOR” and investigated its...

NAD+ can restore age-related muscle deterioration
by Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne Skeletal muscle tissue. Credit: University of Michigan Medical School The older we grow, the weaker our muscles get, riddling old age with frailty and physical disability. But this doesn’t only affect the individual, it also creates a significant burden on public healthcare. And yet, research efforts into the biological processes and biomarkers...
