GSE136866: Sestrin prevents skeletal muscle atrophy

Bulk RNA sequencing

We identify sestrins, a family of stress-inducible metabolic regulators, as protective factors against muscle wasting. Sestrin expression decreases during inactivity and its genetic deficiency exacerbates muscle wasting; conversely, sestrin overexpression suffices to prevent atrophy.
