Scientists from the University of Rochester have proven that stem cells return muscle strength to the elderly. In the course of research on muscles, scientists are going to create a drug that does not prevent age-related muscle atrophy and restores the production of motor neurons.. It is reported by VistaNews.
The scientists posted the results of their study on the EurekAlert website.. The main cause of age-related muscle disease is the loss of motor neurons..
But scientists doubted this theory. Researchers conducted a series of experiments on mice, which eliminated stem cells.
In young animals, this loss led to atrophy of some organs, while in older animals the body remained healthy.. The results of the experiments proved that the muscle weakness of the elderly is directly related to the presence of stem cells, and is not related to the degradation of nerve tissues..
