New from our labs in @AGSJournal ! The first piece from TRAJECTOR-AGE - lead by Prof Lauretani, head of our clinical unit in Parma. -The Trajectories of Neuromuscular Aging (TRAJECTOR-AGE Clinical Trial): Study Rationale and Methodological Protocol- agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jg…
The idea that aging per se leads to a decrease in respiration, at least in skeletal muscles, is also likely an oversimplification. When physical activity is accounted for, many research groups see minimal to no decline in respiration with aging. cell.com/cell-reports-m…
And that’s a wrap for Motoneuron 2025. We hope that everyone had a great time - we sure did! See you in Poznan 2027.
