A positively selected microRNA controls a reversible aging program in striated muscle

Melissa A. Boldridge, Lei Xu, Xiaoyin Wang…·Anders M. Näär

The paper shows that inhibiting miR-128-3p improves muscle function and reduces aging-related pathology in multiple models.

AMP-activated-kinase (AMPK) is essential sensor and metabolic regulator of retinal neurons and their integrated metabolism with RPE.

Lei Xu, Emily E. Brown, Casey J. Keuthan…·John D. Ash

This study shows that AMPK regulates retinal metabolism and that its loss leads to photoreceptor and RPE cell degeneration.
