Aging (Aging-US) was proud to sponsor the Muscle Aging Science & Translation (MAST) Symposium, organized by the Aging Initiative at Harvard University on Friday, April 18, 2025. This important event brought together 350 participants—chosen from more than 1,300 applicants—including students, researchers, company founders, investors, and industry leaders. Together, they explored the latest research and innovations in muscle health and aging. The symposium reflected the journal’s strong commitment to supporting collaboration across fields and advancing research in aging.

-Key Highlights from the MAST Symposium-

Clinical Research Perspectives on Frailty

The symposium opened with a strong clinical session led by experts from top institutions: Dr. Roger Fielding (Tufts University and Boston Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center) and Drs. Douglas Kiel, Shivani Sahni, and Yi-Hsiang Hsu (Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center).

The panel discussed key topics such as the biology of frailty, how bone and muscle health are connected, and the influence of genetics, diet, and exercise on staying strong as we age. By blending real-life patient care with the latest research, the speakers shed light on the challenges of sarcopenia—the gradual loss of muscle strength and mass that occurs with age—and the new scientific approaches being developed to improve treatment.
