Quantification and characterization of grouped type I myofibers in human aging

Myofiber type grouping is a histological hallmark of age‐related motor unit remodeling. Despite the accepted concept that denervation–reinnervation events lead to myofiber type grouping, the completeness of those conversions remains unknown.
