Aging Muscle

Overview

Aging muscle refers to the progressive changes in skeletal muscle that occur with age, including loss of muscle mass, strength, and quality. This age-related decline, often related to sarcopenia, results from a combination of factors such as reduced regenerative capacity of muscle stem cells, hormonal and metabolic changes, and decreased physical activity. It can affect mobility, independence, and overall health in older adults, and understanding its biological basis is important for developing strategies, including exercise and nutrition, to preserve muscle function with age. Research published through OpenAccessPub explores the biology of muscle aging. One study examines the mechanisms behind the decline in self-renewal and regenerative proliferation of senescent skeletal muscle satellite cells, detailing molecular signaling pathways involved in the loss of muscle's repair capacity. Other work considers whether melatonin may help address muscle dysfunction associated with healthy aging. Together these peer-reviewed, open-access articles gather evidence relevant to aging muscle, including the cellular changes that reduce regeneration and the interventions investigated to support muscle health in later life.
