Investigating the role of Aquaporins in age related diseases

University of Liverpool Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences

Physical frailty, with its associated immobility and disability, is a major factor limiting independence among older people. A key contributor to frailty is a decline in muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia) and the burden of sarcopenia is substantial, with a cost to the NHS of ~£2.5bn/pa. Read more
