Muscle Loss with Age? The Key Role of Mitochondria in Sarcopenia
Muscle Loss with Age? The Key Role of Mitochondria in Sarcopenia As we age, one of the most visible signs of decline is the gradual loss of muscle mass and strength, known as sarcopenia. Often mistaken as an unavoidable part of aging, sarcopenia is now understood to be closely linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, the energy crisis happening inside our cells. Mitochondria, the tiny power plants that produce cellular energy, become less efficient and more damaged over time, leading to weaker muscl...
