If my muscle could talk: Myokines as a biomarker of frailty.
TL;DR: The rationale to support the use of myokines as biomarkers of frailty in older adults, a set of cytokines, small proteins and proteoglycan peptides that are synthetized, expressed and released by skeletal myocytes in response to muscular contractions is discussed.
