Cover Story: Muscle aging is a multifactorial process characterized by progressive disruption of system-wide physiological homeostasis. Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and function, impairs mobility across metazoans. The hawk moth (Manduca sexta) serves as a powerful model due to its short, defined lifespan and flight muscle analogy to vertebrate skeletal muscle. To elucidate the dynamic molecular mechanisms underlying muscle aging, we performed high-resolution time-series RNA sequencing on flight muscle from early adulthood to advanced age. Our analysis revealed transcriptional remodeling in pathways regulating mitochondrial respiration, oxidative stress response, and proteostasis. These findings highlight conserved signatures of muscle aging and establish M. sexta as a complementary model for studying muscle aging. View this paper
