UNC45B Reduction With Aging: A Myofiber-Intrinsic Promoting Factor for Sarcopenia.

Skeletal muscle mass and force decline with age, and the loss of muscle force precedes muscle atrophy. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we investigated the role of the myosin co-chaperone, uncoordinated mutant number-45 myosin chaperone B (UNC45B), in...

Chinese leek-derived extracellular vesicles ameliorate sarcopenia by regulating mitochondrial biogenesis and autophagy via AMPK and maintaining myosin homeostasis.

Sarcopenia, a prevalent age-related degenerative disorder, poses significant challenges in geriatric care. Chinese leek demonstrates therapeutic potential against sarcopenia progression, with emerging evidence suggesting its extracellular vesicles (EVs) may mediate these effects. Notably, plant-derived EVs have garnered increasing attention due...

Muscle Abnormalities in Nonhospitalised Patients With Post-COVID-19 Condition.

Post-COVID condition (PCC) affects ~10% of SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals and manifests as persistent symptoms such as fatigue, exercise intolerance and muscle weakness. This study aimed to assess the skeletal muscle of these patients and compare them with healthy controls. Biopsies were...
