Disruption of mitochondrial function and protein homeostasis plays a central role in aging. However, how these processes interact and what governs their failure in aging remain poorly understood. Here, we showed that cer- amide biosynthesis controls the de ...

Nutrient Metabolites Associated With Low D3Cr Muscle Mass, Strength, and Physical Performance in Older Men

Background: The relationship between amino acids, B vitamins, and their metabolites with D3-creatine (D3Cr) dilution muscle mass, a more direct measure of skeletal muscle mass, has not been investigated. We aimed to assess associations of plasma metabolite ...

Sphingolipids accumulate in aged muscle, and their reduction counteracts sarcopenia

Johan Auwerx, Davide D'Amico, Qi Wang, Sébastien Robert Victor Herzig, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Martin Rainer Wohlwend, Peiling Luan, Pirkka-Pekka Untamo Laurila, Barbara Moreira Crisol

Age-related muscle dysfunction and sarcopenia are major causes of physical incapacitation in older adults and currently lack viable treatment strategies. Here we find that sphingolipids accumulate in mouse skeletal muscle upon aging and that both genetic a ...

Molecular Regulation of Muscle Stem Cell Fate during Skeletal Muscle Regeneration and Aging

Sara Ancel

Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are the primary source of myogenic progenitors during muscle repair and are essential for the long-term regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle. Following myofiber injury, MuSCs transition from a quiescent to an activated state, ...

REM sleep and muscle atonia in brainstem stroke: A quantitative polysomnographic and lesion analysis study

Lukas Heydrich, Eva Blondiaux

Important brainstem regions are involved in the regulation of rapid eye movement sleep. We hypothesized that brainstem stroke is associated with dysregulated rapid eye movement sleep and related muscle activity. We compared quantitative/qualitative polysom ...

Enhancing mitochondrial quality control to fight neuromuscular degeneration in aging and disease

Mario Romani

Loss of mitochondrial function and proteostasis typify aging and age-associated degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and muscle aging. To date, no cure or preventive measure is available to manage these conditions. Alterations of cellular pro ...

Acute RyR1 Ca2+ leak enhances NADH-linked mitochondrial respiratory capacity

Johan Auwerx, Umberto De Marchi

Sustained ryanodine receptor (RyR) Ca2+ leak is associated with pathological conditions such as heart failure or skeletal muscle weakness. We report that a single session of sprint interval training (SIT), but not of moderate intensity continuous training ...

NAD+ boosting reduces age-associated amyloidosis and restores mitochondrial homeostasis in muscle

Johan Auwerx, Mario Romani, Tanes Imamura de Lima, Hao Li, Vincenzo Sorrentino, Hongbo Zhang

Aging is characterized by loss of proteostasis and mitochondrial homeostasis. Here, we provide bioinformatic evidence of dysregulation of mitochondrial and proteostasis pathways in muscle aging and diseases. Moreover, we show accumulation of amyloid-like d ...

CO-REGULATION OF ENDOTHELIAL AND MYOGENIC CELL FATES THROUGH INTERCELLULAR CROSSTALK IN SKELETAL MUSCLE

Umji Lee

Skeletal muscle is one of the most dynamic organs in the human body, which has a vigorous potential to regenerate and adapt to environmental changes. Depending on environments, skeletal muscle enables essential life activities to survive by controlling mov ...

The Hippo pathway controls myofibril assembly and muscle fiber growth by regulating sarcomeric gene expression

Bart Deplancke, Julie Marie Russeil, Daniel Alpern

Skeletal muscles are composed of gigantic cells called muscle fibers, packed with force-producing myofibrils. During development, the size of individual muscle fibers must dramatically enlarge to match with skeletal growth. How muscle growth is coordinated ...
