Hello! My name is Varun and I'm currently in my sophomore year starting the Science Research Program.
Topic: Sarcopenia effects on muscle tissues' cell signaling
Topic: Sarcopenia effects on muscle tissues' cell signaling
My research has been mainly focused on atrophy of the muscles due to natural aging. Specifically, certain cell signals and different pathways concerning catabolism and anabolism in skeletal muscles.
Some key ideas to take away:
Sarcopenia (old-age muscle degradation)
Myofibrillar myopathy (weakness in muscles)
Cell pathways (IGF-1 pathway)
Skeletal Muscle regulators (myogenin, MyoD, MRF4)
