The AMPK/p27Kip1 Axis Regulates Autophagy/Apoptosis Decisions in Aged Skeletal Muscle Stem Cells
20 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Skeletal muscle stem cell (MuSC) function declines with age and contributes to impaired muscle regeneration in older individuals. Acting through AMPK/p27 Kip1 , we have identified a pathway regulating the balance between autophagy, apoptosis, and senescence in aged MuSCs. While p27 Kip1 is implicated in MuSC aging, its precise role and molecular mechanism have not been elucidated. Age-related MuSC dysfunction was...
