Morphological alterations of mouse skeletal muscles during early ageing are muscle specific (2019)
Journal Article
Messa, G., Piasecki, M., Hill, C., McPhee, J., Tallis, J., & Degens, H. (2019). Morphological alterations of mouse skeletal muscles during early ageing are muscle specific. Experimental Gerontology, 125, Article 110684. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.exger.2019.110684

© 2019 Elsevier Inc. One of the hallmarks of ageing is muscle wasting that may be preceded by morphological changes, such as capillary rarefaction. Muscle-specific changes in morphology in early ageing may differ between locomotor and respiratory mus...
