title: [Aging of muscle].
abstract: Sarcopenia has attracted attention recently in various fields of clinical and basic research to understand the mechanisms and developing new methods for diagnosis and prevention. We review pathological features in motor neurons, synapses, muscle fibers, satellite cells associated with sarcopenia based on recent findings. The author believes that the pathological evidence comes to an important measure in the development of research on sarcopenia.
