As we age, the function and regenerative abilities of skeletal muscles deteriorate, which means it is difficult for the elderly to recover from injury or surgery. New work demonstrates that a protein called b1-integrin is crucial for muscle regeneration. The findings provide a promising target for therapeutic intervention to combat muscle aging or disease.
