EGF regulates the activities of p38-MAPK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways through the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), thereby promoting the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts. This finding will support the treatment of skeletal muscle injury, which is of great value in resolving muscle health problems such as muscular atrophy and sarcopenia.

We then explore the challenges of translating miRNA-based approaches from preclinical promise to clinical utility, emphasizing the need for trial-level validation to correlate miRNA profiles with clinically meaningful, patient-centred endpoints. By consolidating these findings, this article puts miRNAs forward as a pivotal mechanism in geroscience, offering a novel framework to mitigate ageing-related multimorbidity and bridge the gap between lifespan and healthspan.

Despite the limitations of this review, the findings indicate that miRNAs could serve as promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for managing OSO/OSA. These results suggest that targeted interventions, such as resistance training and lifelong exercise, may effectively influence miRNA expression, potentially alleviating the impacts of OSO/OSA.

Obesity's role in anti-programmed cell death protein-1 therapy appears could have a benefit, while its effects on other treatments, such as anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy, may reduce efficacy. Further research is needed to explore how obesity influences the effectiveness of other most common immunotherapies like nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and bevacizumab, and whether weight loss as well as weight-loss related sarcopenia impacts these benefits.

Management strategies for SMA include resistance training, aerobic exercise, and nutritional support (e.g., high-protein diets, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids), which are essential for mitigating skeletal muscle loss and improving outcomes. However, pharmacological agents that target the muscle and liver (such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) show promise but have not yet been approved for the treatment of MASLD.

Journal: Impact of denosumab on muscle health in older adults in long-term care. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 9, 2025 These biomarkers could potentially serve as indicators for the early detection of sarcopenia, particularly in older adults and males, offering insights that may contribute to personalized screening and targeted interventions. Our study found that in older adults in LTCCs, denosumab did not significantly enhance muscle health indices.
