Can a Cancer Gene Keep Muscles Young?
Shownotes
Kevin Murach is a professor who studies muscle cells at the University of Missouri. Kevin's problem is this: Can we understand what's going on in our cells when we lift weights – and can we use that knowledge to help people stay healthier as they age?
In this episode, Kevin explains:
- The technology lets scientists watch individual muscle nuclei during exercise
- The significance of a cancer gene called Myc that is activated after lifting weights
- How Myc may be linked to cellular age reversal
- Why muscle responds less to exercise with age
