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…

One of the most impactful collaborations our lab will ever partake in. High resolution myofibril imaging led by the @HornbergerLab. In sum, resistance training in humans increases myofibril # (not size) in type II (not type I) fibers. Let's go!!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Please exercise! A little goes a long way.

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/…

What a cool paper on a subunit from a chromatin modifying complex and its impact on endurance capacity.

I sang the old theme song for TMNT and my daughter made me show her what show it was from… she’s currently obsessed. I’ve been waiting my whole life for this moment!

Our work on the discovery of a biochemical mechanism through which lactate regulates protein function, cell cycle, and proliferation, is out today in @nature.

Exercise is a promising non-pharmacological strategy to maintain and improve brain function. Exercise stimulates the production of exerkines from tissues such as skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, or liver, which affect the nervous system…

I looked at 27k postdoc salaries across the US, their relationship to cost of living, tenure-track job prospects, and how things have been changing over time. Here's what I found:

Yes! Great perspective from @CedricFeschotte lab and co!

An interesting point is where we showed exercise downregulates the TE LINE-1 and impacts proliferation - big jump (no pun intended) to suggest an interaction rn, but interesting. @DrMikeRoberts
