Age-related structural and compositional variations of mouse skeletal muscle

Skeletal muscles undergo loss of mass and strength during aging, known as sarcopenia. Sarcopenia impairs skeletal muscle function and is characterized by a series of structural and compositional variations. In this project, I first verified that a reduced myofibre volume, i.e. atrophy, was associate...
