Skeletal muscle shows high plasticity in response to external demand. Moreover, adult
skeletal muscle is capable of complete regeneration after injury, due to the properties of …

After skeletal muscle injury a regeneration process takes place to repair muscle. Skeletal
muscle recovery is a highly coordinated process involving cross-talk between immune and …

Muscle senescence is a complex mechanism that is usually associated with a decrease in
mass, strength and velocity of contraction. This state, known as sarcopenia, is a multifactorial …

The mechanisms contributing to sarcopenia include reduced satellite cell (myogenic stem
cell) function that is impacted by the environment (niche) of these cells. Satellite cell function …

Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a combination of obesity and sarcopenia that primarily develops
in older people. Patients with SO have high fat mass, low muscle mass, low muscle strength …

Although adult skeletal muscle is composed of fully differentiated fibers, it retains the
capacity to regenerate in response to injury and to modify its contractile and metabolic …

Reduction in muscle strength with aging is due to both loss of muscle mass (quantity) and
intrinsic force production (quality). Along with decreased functional capacity of the muscle …

The loss of muscle mass and strength with aging, referred to as sarcopenia, is a prevalent
condition among the elderly. Although the molecular mechanisms underlying sarcopenia …

Sarcopenia could be currently defined as a geriatric syndrome initially characterized by a
decrease in muscle mass that will get worse causing deterioration in strength and physical …

The age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function that is associated with sarcopenia
can result in ultimate consequences such as decreased quality of life. The causes of …
