Scientists identify fat-making gene crucial for muscle strength and aging

Researchers have pinpointed a gene that controls how muscle cells build and use fats, revealing a potential target for treating muscle weakness in aging populations. The discovery could inform development of therapies to preserve muscle function and mobility in older adults—a major public health and economic priority as aging populations strain healthcare systems worldwide.
