Aging-associated dysregulation of the hypoxia pathway limits skeletal muscle regeneration
Description: Project Narrative Aging results in a severe decline of skeletal muscle regenerative potential, which manifests clinically as decreased muscle mass, impaired function, and a loss of independence. The proposed study will advance our understanding of how the hypoxia signaling pathway becomes dysregulated in aging and its impact on muscle regeneration. Furthermore, it will evaluate whether restoring hypoxia signaling improves skeletal muscle regenerative potential and maintains muscle mass in a murine model of aging.
