Abstract
Covid-19 is disproportionately affecting middle aged and older adults. There is little data about how to manage these patients, particularly in the post-acute recovery phase commonly associated with frailty and muscle wasting. This study looks at how small molecules, called microRNAs, can regulate muscle health and influence recovery to help identify and develop personalised treatments for people with critical illness, such as COVID-19'
