Can A Pill Restore Aging-Related Muscle Wasting?
Re-building muscles that have undergone ageing-associated wasting might one day be as easy as popping a pill. Researchers think that they just might have unraveled the secret to regaining lost muscle youth. The solution lies in a protein that produces signals that elicit muscle restorative process in the stem cells. Currently, it is anticipated that a muscle-bolstering drug could be manufactured that could dawdle the ageing process. During the course of the study, U.S. and Danish scientists have evaluated the capacity of stem cells or ‘master cells’ that reinstate damage in tissues – for building muscle. The researchers have established that aging has been found to be directly proportional to the weakening of the chemical messages that notify the stem cells to get functional. This results in the body taking longer periods of time for restoring the damage done. Their discovery that is published in the journal of EMBO Molecular Medicine paves the means for a pill which could amplify thes
