Brief description Muscle wasting is a consequence of aging, cancer, HIV-AIDS, obesity and work-sport injuries. It increases the risk of injury, impacts on recovery and places an economic burden on our healthcare system. Atrogin-1 and STARS are muscle specific genes believed to regulate muscle mass. This project aims to determine how human atrogin-1 and STARS are regulated and how they can influence muscle loss. These studies may provide new targets for reducing human muscle wasting.
