THEMATIC LIMNA SYMPOSIUM - MUSCLE STEM CELLS, METABOLISM AND AGEING -
The LIMNA symposium on the theme of "Muscle stem cells, Metabolism and Ageing", was held on September 27, 2016 at the Olympic museum of Lausanne.
It provided recent insights in the physiological and molecular mechanisms that regulate muscle stem cell functions during ageing.
