Prediction of biological age by morphological staging of sarcopenia in Caenorhabditis elegans

Prediction of biological age by morphological staging of sarcopenia in Caenorhabditis elegans

Sarcopenia encompasses a progressive decline in muscle quantity and quality. Given its close association with ageing, it may represent a valuable healthspan marker. The commonalities with human muscle structure and facile visualization possibilities make Caenorhabditis elegans an attractive model fo...
