Brief description Physical frailty-weakness is one of the most common symptoms of serious illness and a key cause of death. I propose to study a new model of skeletal muscle growth, to learn more about the causes of wasting in muscle-related diseases. The work will identify cell mechanisms that cause loss of muscle strength, and will help develop novel treatment approaches to prevent or reverse physical frailty in illness. New therapies to combat frailty are vital to improve the health of our community.
