Researchers led by @apyle of @UCLAstemcell & @Mic_Hicks are paving the way toward stem cell therapies to regenerate muscle. The team, reporting in @NatureCellBio, discovered how to make stem cells persist in muscle for months & repair injuries. For @UCLA: newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/april…

Inactivity with hospitalisation is disastrous for physical function in older adults. So much so that >30% of older adults leave hospital unable to do at least one activity of daily living they could do independently beforehand. But it doesn’t take much activity to offset these losses. A new study found as little as 25 min/day of slow walking was enough to improve physical function in older adults during hospitalisation. There were greater benefits with up to 50 min/day slow walking or multicomponent programs incorporating resistance exercise. bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/…



Pleased to share a new paper from the lab about the use of the muscle fusogens on vectors for therapeutic gene delivery. Huge congrats to Sajedah Hindi who did an incredible amount of work. Check it out - authors.elsevier.com/a/1gxO4L7PXmcAg
