Abstract

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Porpiglia et al.<sup>1</sup> report on alterations in CD47 and THBS1 expression and function in aged muscle stem cells that disrupt their regeneration capacity. Targeting THBS1-CD47 cross-signaling is sufficient to reverse sarcopenia and restore muscle mass and function in aged mice.
