NIH awarded a research grant to study the impact of matrix aging and muscle activity on extracellular vesicles that promote muscle regeneration, aiming to improve understanding of muscle repair mechanisms in aging.
Description
This NIH research grant focuses on investigating how aging and muscle activity affect extracellular vesicles and their role in muscle regeneration. The project aims to understand the molecular mechanisms by which extracellular matrix aging and muscle activity influence muscle stem cell function and muscle repair.
