Abstract
Two recent studies shed light on mechanisms underlying muscle dysfunction in age and disease. They reveal that JAK-STAT signaling regulates myogenic differentiation, leading to a reduced reservoir of muscle stem cells. Both genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of STAT3 signaling improve stem cell homeostasis and physiology of aged and dystrophic muscles.Entities:
