Funded Activity Summary

Mouse models for the identification of factors involved in muscle adaptation. The ability of muscle to adapt to meet functional demands is essential for mobility in normal daily life, in ageing well, in individuals with muscle diseases and nerve damage and in athletes. The ability of muscle to change its cellular composition is desirable for the livestock industry. Knowledge of how genes in muscle cells are regulated to adapt to demands has significant implications for public health and economic benefits. We have devised model systems that will allow us to identify the regulators of these genes in order to develop therapies to combat these changes in ageing and damaged muscle, to improve the quality of meat and optimise sport performance.
