Funded Activity Summary

Defects in skeletal muscle are a cause of muscle disease, and also have broad health implications for diabetes, obesity and liver disease. As such, it is important to understand the processes required for healthy muscle and how signals communicate from muscle to the liver and fat, which integrate whole body metabolism. This application examines how the cellular degradation process known as autophagy integrates these important processes by investigating a novel gene regulator of this pathway.
