The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis controls muscle stem cell senescence through autophagosome clearance

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Background With organismal aging, the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) activity gradually decreases, resulting in the systemic functional declines of the target tissues including skeletal muscles. Although the HPG axis plays an important role in health span, how the HPG axis systemically prevents functional aging is largely unknown. Methods We generated muscle stem cell (MuSC)‐specific androgen...
