Aging Muscle Repair Study Points to Stronger HGF Signal
Key Takeaways
- Kyushu University researchers studied how aging may weaken a key muscle-repair protein called HGF.
- They reported that nitration can impair HGF’s ability to bind to the c-met receptor on satellite cells.
- A sulfur-based compound called LASSS appeared to protect and enhance HGF, suggesting a possible future path for preserving muscle repair.
