Kevin Murach is a professor who studies muscle cells at the University of Missouri. Kevin's problem is this: Can we understand what's going on in our cells when we lift weights – and can we use that knowledge to help people stay healthier as they age?

In this episode, Kevin explains: 
The technology lets scientists watch individual muscle nuclei during exercise
The significance of a cancer gene called Myc that is activated after lifting weights 
How Myc may be linked to cellular age reversal
Why muscle responds less to exercise with age

What's Your Problem?

Every week on What’s Your Problem, entrepreneurs and engineers talk about the future they’re trying to build – and the problems they have to solve to get there.

How do you take a drone delivery service you’ve built in Rwanda and make it work in North Carolina? How do you convince people to buy a house on the Internet? How do you sell thousands of dog ramps to weiner dogs all across America when a pandemic breaks the global supply chain? 

Hosted by former Planet Money host Jacob Goldstein, What’s Your Problem helps listeners understand the problems really smart people are trying to solve right now.
