Modulating the molecular and cellular physiology of ageing skeletal muscle

随着人口中老年人数量的不断增加和退休年龄的增加，了解衰老如何影响肌肉的潜在机制对社区越来越重要。老年肌肉比年轻肌肉更慢更弱，更容易受伤。该提案的重点是开发安全的治疗方法，以预防或逆转这些与年龄相关的影响。让老年肌肉再次年轻，是一项研究战略，将促进健康老龄化，使老年澳大利亚人享受更好的生活质量。

Understanding the underlying mechanisms of how ageing affects muscle is of increasing importance to the community as the number of older persons in the population continues to escalate and the age of retirement increases. Old muscles are slower and weaker than young muscles, and are more easily injured. This proposal is focussed on developing safe therapies to prevent or reverse these age-related effects. Making old muscles young again, is a research strategy that will promote healthy ageing and enable older Australians to enjoy a better quality of life.
