Abstract excerpt
Age-associated declines in skeletal muscle function are linked to cellular senescence and mitochondrial alterations, yet mitochondrial phenotypes in aged human myoblasts remain insufficiently characterized. Here, we examined primary skeletal muscle myoblasts from young and elderly donors to assess mitochondrial function, morphology, and mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contact sites (MERCS). Myoblasts from...
