HDAC11 deficiency improves muscle function and regeneration during ageing
Researchers from GRENBA-IGTP have identified the HDAC11 protein, an enzyme involved in cellular regulation, as a new therapeutic target to combat sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass associated with ageing. The study shows that HDAC11 deficiency reduces muscle atrophy, preserves the muscle stem cell reservoir, promotes regeneration after injury and improves muscle function, opening the door to new strategies to support healthy ageing.
A new mouse model allows for more accurate study of COVID-19 in humans
The study presents a new mouse model that more realistically mimics the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 in humans, an essential tool for better understanding COVID.
