Chronic activation of p38α in skeletal muscle causes necrotic changes, but also abolishes expression of MK2, MK3 and MKK6 and the muscle recovers The MAPK p38α is associated with skeletal muscle’s development, differentiation and functionality. But, as it is overactive in muscle diseases and aging, it was proposed to be a pivotal promoter of th...
