MiR-128-3p inhibition: a short feature on a preclinical therapeutic approach that aims to reverse age‑related muscle and heart decline, with implications for broader aging research.

MiR-128-3p Inhibition Improves Muscle Mass and Function in Aged Mice
Key Takeaways
  • Antisense oligonucleotide inhibition of miR-128-3p restored muscle mass and improved function in aged mice.
  • MiR-128-3p inhibition improved cardiac function and limited adverse remodeling after myocardial infarction in animal models.
  • Inhibition activated mitochondrial programs and suppressed inflammatory and fibrotic signaling across mouse and pig models.
