A newly identified breakdown in nerve-muscle communication may help explain age-related weakness. Muscles do not weaken with age simply because they get smaller. New research suggests that part of the problem may lie in the electrical signals that tell them when to contract. Scientists at the University of Missouri found that communication between nerves and [...]
Researchers at the University of Missouri have identified a failure in communication between nerves and muscles that can explain the age-related muscle weakness. The study suggests that the deterioration of electrical signals that...
