Research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to investigate how keratin 18 affects muscle strength and adaptation under stress, contributing to understanding sarcopenia and frailty in aging populations.
Description
This project studies the role of the intermediate filament keratin 18 (Krt18) in stress-induced weakness and skeletal muscle remodeling with advancing age, relevant to sarcopenia and frailty.
