Abstract

Age-related muscle decline is associated with functional impairment of satellite cells (SCs). Conflicting data suggest dysregulation of cell-extrinsic or -intrinsic factors can independently contribute to such impairment. Here, we emphasize the importance of identifying nodes that integrate these factors into feed-forward circuits, which could provide targets for therapeutic intervention.
