Loss of a muscle protein mimics age-related changes in mice
Experiments in male mice found that losing a muscle membrane protein reduced muscle strength and calcium entry and changed signaling by fat-derived molecules.Experiments in male mice found that losing a muscle membrane protein reduced muscle strength and calcium entry and changed signaling by fat-derived molecules.
Mouse studyMuscle
Who was studiedMale C57BL/6J mice, against normal mice
What changedYoung mice lacking MG29 had lower store-operated calcium entry than normal mice
The catchLifelong loss of MG29 served as a model of accelerated age-related muscle loss
