Subcutaneous contractile muscle grafts: a research article examining a cell‑ and gene‑therapy approach that aims to influence systemic aging and metabolism.
Key Takeaways
- Skeletal muscle is the main motor organ and plays a vital role in regulating systemic metabolism and aging
- Exercise interventions can address many metabolic and degenerative diseases associated with aging
- Here we developed subcutaneous transplantation of differentiated autologous myocytes (myografts)
