Alterations in mitochondrial dynamics may cause inflammation and muscular atrophy
Mitochondria are essential cellular components that act as powerhouses. The fusion of two or more mitochondria, and the fission of a mitochondrion into two units are common phenomena known as "mitochondrial dynamics" and ...

Ceramides found to be key in aging muscle health
During aging, mice, like humans, become inactive and lose muscle mass and strength. A team of scientists led by Johan Auwerx at EPFL have now discovered that when mice age, their muscles become packed with ceramides. Ceramides, ...
