Muscle loss
When we reach the age of 50 or 60 our muscles start losing grip on our bones and start shredding. And this process is known as Sarcopenia. A study on mice at the University of Michigan shows that these kinds of muscle losses can be prevented and we may also get to know the reason why it occurs.
During the course of aging the progressive loss of muscle mass is called Sarcopenia. And this kind of muscle loss may be a reason for various diseases or age-related problems such as Osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, and cancer too. This disease can also affect the overall functioning of the body.
According to Carlos Aguilar U-M assistant professor at Biomedical Engineering. This research was focused mainly on the functioning of the stem cell. The researcher took two sets of mice a young and an old one to get different stages of muscle injury.
Research mainly focused on the use of bioinformatics analysis of the packaging of stem cells. The focus was on Chromatin of DNA which is present in the nucleus of stem cells. They observed differences in the ways of protein binding when there is no access to Chromatin. The researchers found out that how one transcription factor could block the protein binding ability of the other.
Scientists found out that if they will silence the activity of that transcription factor then they would achieve the unachievable, they could restore the ability of cells to repair the old cells and they think this would restore your youth.
Scientists believe that by subsiding the activity of that transcription factor they are able to restore the ability of older cells to rebuild and restore their older forms. As the chromatin changes every time you age, scientists are working to repair that genome to work in a way in which it could extend our lifespan.
