Our research focuses on understanding effective muscle regeneration and the mechanisms underlying its dysfunction during aging, in mice. Specifically, we are interested in investigating how the interplay between muscle stem cells and immune cells shapes the regeneration process during injury, both in young and old animals. The 1300B system from Aurora Scientific will be instrumental to measure muscle strength in vitro, in situ, and in vivo, an indicator of muscle function. This system will therefore enable us to study how pharmacological interventions that affect muscle stem cells or cells in the microenvironment modulates muscle function in response to injury.
