      Hi !

      I work with skeletal muscles. These are the ones on our arms and legs that give us the power to move. They have fancy names but they are not important. The problem we have is that you never see and old people with muscles – that because as we get older our body fails to be able to make new muscles and stop the old ones dying. My job is to try and figure out how this happens and stop it from happening.
