Replicative aging down‐regulates the myogenic regulatory factors in human myoblasts
19 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Aging of human skeletal muscle results in a decline in muscle mass and force, and excessive turnover of muscle fibres, such as in muscular dystrophies, further increases this decline. Although it has been shown in rodents, by cross-age transplantation of whole muscles, that the environment plays an important role in this process, the implication of proliferating aging of the muscle...
