Funded Activity Summary

Phosphatidylserine: a regulator of muscle and mitochondrial biology? This project aims to characterise a novel pathway involved in regulating skeletal muscle mass through effects on mitochondrial function. This project will examine how degradation causes mitochondrial abnormalities leading to severe muscle wasting. This project is expected to advance understanding of how pathways interact, thus identifying novel mechanisms that impact on muscle structure and function. Understanding what makes muscle vulnerable to atrophy is fundamental to developing strategies to counteract muscle wasting conditions. Methodologies developed will have broad application in the field of life sciences research.
