Researchers at Nottingham Trent University have found that muscle cells deteriorate with age, affecting their ability to regenerate and recover after an injury. The researchers analyzed the genes inside muscle cells and found that the development pathways become weakened in older cells, leading to impaired regeneration potential and recovery. This can explain why it takes longer for older adults to recover from muscle damage.
