SUMMARY:Msc Graduate Seminar- Galit Cohen [No Categories]
DESCRIPTION:Location: Faculty Of Biology Auditorium/ZOOM:https://technion.z
 oom.us/j/99587628620    Galit Cohen\n Affiliation: \n Host:Associate Prof.
   Shenhav Cohen   \n Developing a nutrient-based formulation to attenuate 
 muscle wasting\nMuscle atrophy causes weakness and disability in aging\, i
 nactivity\, and in many diseases. This loss of muscle mass and strength is
  primarily due to the accelerated degradation of muscle proteins by the ub
 iquitin-proteasome system (UPS). The ubiquitin ligases\, F-Box (MAFbx/Atro
 gin-1) and Muscle RING-Finger 1 (MuRF-1)\, are induced in most types of at
 rophy and currently represent the best markers for atrophy. Their expressi
 on increases also by the Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) family mem
 ber\, myostatin\, which functions as a negative regulator of skeletal musc
 le mass. Myostatin is produced by muscle\, and is excessively active in sy
 stemic catabolic conditions (including cancer cachexia and aging)\, causin
 g a severe muscle atrophy. Its inhibition is currently considered as the b
 est therapeutic approach to prevent or retard atrophy. Here we focus on th
 e development of a nutrient-based formulation that specifically targets my
 ostatin signaling for the treatment of muscle wasting in humans.
