Our latest paper with @atul_deshmukh1 is now out in @JPhysiol. We developed FibeRtypeR to infer muscle fiber type from transcriptome or proteome data. Would be great to receive feedback on it. @TeamDerave @ugent_fge Paper: physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP… Tool: ccgg.ugent.be/shiny/fibertyp…

New publication in the @JPhysiol where we show evidence of lowering mitochondrial oxidative stress to improve physical function in old mice. We also see initial efficacy in humans over the age of 70 (n=5) - but larger follow-up studies are required. Enjoy! physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
