Funded Activity Summary

Interrogating the adaptive potential of skeletal muscle. Disruptions to muscle oxidative capacity and growth signalling underpin atrophy and dysfunction with ageing, which impacts on an individual’s quality of life. These biological processes are thought to be mutually exclusive and compete during muscle adaptation. This project aims to define how these processes regulate the extent of muscle adaptation, and how modifying these attributes influence functional capacity in the context of ageing. This project will provide fundamental new knowledge in understanding how modifying muscle attributes influence successful ageing. This knowledge will improve resilience, productivity, and wellbeing of all Australians, with implications for reducing societal and economic burden.
