This project explores the genetic factors influencing muscle fiber properties, which are crucial for muscle mass and strength. It uses various mouse strains to identify genetic variations that affect muscle characteristics, aiming to enhance understanding of muscle function.
A loss of muscle mass and strength with aging or disease leads to a compromised quality of life.
Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanisms underlying muscle function.
The present proposal will shed light on largely unknown mechanisms underlying the effects of genetic variation on important properties of muscle fibres (i.e., their number, size, type) which in turn contribute to muscle mass and contractility. A multi-pronged approach will be used to explore soleus and extensor digito…
