The AMPK/p27Kip1 Axis Regulates Autophagy/Apoptosis Decisions in Aged Skeletal Muscle Stem Cells

Summary: Skeletal muscle stem cell (MuSC) function declines with age and contributes to impaired muscle regeneration in older individuals. Acting through AMPK/p27Kip1, we have identified a pathway regulating the balance between autophagy, apoptosis, and senescence in aged MuSCs. While p27Kip1 is imp...
