Congratulations to @HorwathOscar (@gihsweden), the winner of our 2024/25 Early Career Author prize! Oscar's winning research article investigated how ageing impacts type I and type II myofibre properties in human muscle!

Honored to get this award. I really appreciate initiatives like this that support young researchers. Grateful also to the colleagues and mentors who made this possible

Interested in a pretty cool postdoc project with Dr @HenningLanger and I? 🔥

Hey Muscle And Metabolism Folks on Twitter, @LykkeSylow and I are looking for a Postdoc who is interested in applying for a prestigious @DDEA_Denmark fellowship with us. More details in the picture attached. Please share widely! @MYOTWlTTER

How about having the @E_C_S_S congress in Rimini every year? 😊

Vitamin C+E supplementation blunts molecular adaptations to sprint interval training but not performance gains. Since performance wasn’t impaired, I wonder whether, and to what extent, the blunted molecular responses can truly be considered detrimental. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP…

Does #antioxidant supplementation influence the outcomes of #SIT #training? #skeletalmuscle fans, we might have some information for you. #proteomics leads the way! doi.org/10.1113/JP2886… Kudos to the great Håkan Westerblad and to the whole amazing team.

Fancy doing a PhD or know someone that does? If so, please apply or share. Deadline 18th June for mid/late Sept start findaphd.com/phds/project/i…
