Using gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, the team has been able to study these proteins without altering them or producing them in excess, thereby allowing observation of their true function.
The researchers found that as humans age, type 2 muscle fibers deteriorate steadily during the aging process, while type 1 muscle fibers remain relatively stable and better tolerate the stress of agin...
