SESN1 is a FOXO3 effector that counteracts human skeletal muscle ageing

Abstract excerpt

Sarcopenia, a skeletal muscle disorder in which loss of muscle mass and function progresses with age, is associated with increased overall frailty, risk of falling and mortality in the elders. Here, we reveal that SESN1 safeguards skeletal muscle from ageing downstream of the longevity gene FOXO3, which we recently reported is a geroprotector in primate skeletal muscle. Knockdown of SESN1 mimicked the human...
