@MedSciMenon @_sarahhan @UCCOM_undergrad @UCCOMMedSciAlum That's great news!! Happy for you Sarah. Your future is so bright.

Congratulations to our very own Dr. Sarah Han! @UCCOM_undergrad @UCCOMMedSciAlum

@fujiryosan @Matt_Muscle_Guy @MYOTWlTTER I've just taken a quick look so far, but I'm interested. We know so much about the factors that regulate the slow oxidative program but not so much about the fast twitch fibers as pointed out in the paper. Valuable insight here.

@emgen_science It was me!! That was the first year I lectured in the course. Glad it was useful. People wiser than me say that that discovery was Nobel worthy btw.

Awesome stuff James! Congrats

Blog about my paper from May - I depleted MuSCs in dystrophic mice - unexpected results. Also cool biology about Erk signaling and MuSCs independent myofiber hypertrophy. scienceblog.cincinnatichildrens.org/__trashed/

Rashmi's lab used to work on ACF7 (MACF)- cousin to dystonin which was discovered serendipitously...

@NansFLORENS @CircAHA @nih_nhlbi Bravo Big! Beau travail. Congrats Nans.

@sci_gri @prasad_vik @davy_vanhoutte @SLKBowers @AKZJohansen @Baldwin_TanyaA That's great news Kelly! Happy for you. Congrats!

I’m really happy to announce that our paper on the muscle specific ribosome protein, RPL3L, is finally out! So many thanks to @prasad_vik @davy_vanhoutte @SLKBowers @AKZJohansen @Baldwin_TanyaA for helping to get this over the finish line! #molkentinlab frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

@KSadtler @bdcosgrove The freezing step it so important. So many people do this wrong and waste their samples. I stick the muscle in tragacanth and freeze the muscle in very cold isopentane. I use PFA for reporter staining.

@Matt_Muscle_Guy Hey Matt, here we are in Ottawa (2019) having a beaver tail with some legends. We're (me and you) almost the same height lol. @KotharyLab @GillingwaterLab @LorsonLab

Will be headed to Halifax, Canada next week for #WMS2022. Will be live tweeting cool talks, excellent posters, and my quest for the perfect Canadian beaver tails.

@JamesMc2327 cheapest way to transfect cells...

I'm always surprised by the effectiveness of calcium phosphate transfection of cells. It's a kind of science magic to me🪄.

Our muscle physiology products have been used in a variety of preclinical applications, including investigations of #muscular dystrophy. Check out our latest publication review: #ScienceTwitter aurorascientific.com/attenuating-mu…

@LGMDR3_LGMD2D @ARMI_Labs In theory, cell therapy is a great ideal, but how does one deliver cells to every muscle in the body? Delivery of cells is the main issue with cell therapy. I think gene therapy - gene replacement or CRISPR have great potential.

A new Monash biotech company has received a $500,000 grant from CUREator, a national biomedical incubator managed by life science collaboration Brandon BioCatalyst, to develop novel therapies for treatment of muscular dystrophies. bit.ly/3Oj02zi

@oligogirl @LGMDR3_LGMD2D @Capricor Which was? Some of the cardiac cell therapy trials using 'cardiac progenitors' had a placebo and showed improvements as well. Turns out, it wasn't the cells that led to improved cardiac function but rather the immune response elicited from the cells

@Justin_G_Boyer @LGMDR3_LGMD2D @Capricor But there is also a placebo group that is injected

@oligogirl @LGMDR3_LGMD2D @Capricor when I said the injection per se, I meant this effect: rdcu.be/cRbJ1 as opposed to an effect due to cells/exosomes

@Justin_G_Boyer @LGMDR3_LGMD2D @Capricor Indeed it is not about the cells but the factors they shed in exosomes. I’m also skeptical until I see data in larger cohorts but I do think that the data seen so far in smaller cohorts support doing larger cohort studies
