Brief description We will explore the role of the Hippo signaling pathway in muscle development, repair and remodelling. We propose that this little-known pathway which affects organ development, is key for maintaining healthy muscles, and is affected in muscle wasting. Using gene therapy tools to alter this pathway in models of disease, we intend to clarify the role of Hippo signaling in muscle, and establish whether the pathway can be manipulated to treat physical frailty caused by muscle wasting.
