Thrilled to share our new study in collaboration with @TerenceRyan_PhD. We find that intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) directly impairs limb muscle function in PAD/CLTI and that preventing IMAT formation improves functional outcomes in experimental PAD. tinyurl.com/3efwaerh










Researchers at @universityofky determined whether muscle stem cells transfer their mitochondria upon myofiber fusion in response to a hypertrophic stimulus. ⚡ 👉 bit.ly/4mwpMtB

Very excited to share some of our recent work studying primary human MPCs from patients with late stage CKD! We identify metallothionein-induced zinc deficiency as a contributor to attenuated myogenesis in this population. @ChrisFryPhD @saragonzalezve journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…







Final version is up in @PNASNexus “Satellite cells choreograph an immune cell-fibrogenic cell circuit during mechanical loading in geriatric skeletal muscle”. Great job @NickTThomas @ChrisFryPhD @UKYCMB @uacoehp @UArkResearch @UofA_ESRC #myotwitter academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti…
