Random errors in protein synthesis activate an age-dependent program of muscle atrophy in mice

By introducing a ribosomal ambiguity mutation into mice, Moore et al. establish an in-vivo model to investigate how age-related diseases are related to decreasing accuracy in protein synthesis. Their findings potentially offer new insights into the pathological changes observed in age-related diseas...
