Scientists discover a comprehensive atlas of human aging muscles, revealing cell populations and compensatory mechanisms in muscle aging.

Scientists have discovered new insights into the aging process of muscles, producing the first comprehensive atlas of human aging muscles. The study, published in Nature Aging, reveals how muscles strive to maintain function despite the effects of ageing, offering hope for future therapies and interventions to improve muscle health and quality of life during aging. The atlas uncovers new cell populations that may explain why some muscle fibres age faster than others and identifies compensatory mechanisms the muscles employ to combat ageing.
