Muscle aging : inclusion-body myositis and myopathies /

For neurologists, neuroscientists, gerontologists, internists, general physicians, nurses, and physical therapists, Askanas and Engel (neurology and pathology, U. of Southern California) compile 16 articles on muscle aging and sporadic inclusion-body myositis, as well as hereditary inclusion-body my...
