Scientists map how muscles weaken with age using genetic and cellular data

A new review synthesizes research on why skeletal muscles deteriorate as people grow older, combining insights from genetics, cell biology, and tissue structure. Understanding this process could unlock targets for drugs and interventions that preserve strength and independence in aging populations—a commercial opportunity as healthcare systems confront rising costs of age-related disability.
