Thrilled to see our topical review “Mitigating skeletal muscle wasting in unloading and augmenting subsequent recovery” published in @JPhysiol. Big thanks to @MarcasBamman for coordinating this project! physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

NEW PREPRINT (bioRxiv) A one-time 120% increase in weekly set volume did not promote greater hypertrophy than a 20% increase. First authors: Júlio Camargo & Diego Bittencourt Great collab with @DrMikeRoberts and the Auburn team (@maxmichel_ et al.) biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Very thankful for great mentors that made defending my dissertation an awesome experience. Hard to believe it’s finally done, but very much looking forward to the next chapter.

Great technique pioneered by @maxmichel_ building on work by @godwinjs71 with minimal input tissue. (Preprint): Proteomic profiling of ribosomes from higher versus lower responders to 10 weeks of resistance training biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our new paper is out in Eur J Appl Physiol: “Is there a volume saturation point for muscle hypertrophy in resistance-trained individuals? A narrative review” Congrats to Júlio (first author), MuscuLab team, @maxmichel_ & @DrMikeRoberts trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/12…

New research with @HughesDC_Muscle We've shown UBR5 links to human muscle growth & memory. Now his lab has investigated most UBR proteins-finding-ALL are regulated by growth &regrowth UBRs maybe key to protein quality control!

Response of UBR-box E3 ubiquitin ligases and protein quality control pathways to perturbations in protein synthesis and skeletal muscle size New Preprint & first senior author article 🚨 | ⁦@CraigAGoodman1⁩ ⁦@DrAdamPSharples⁩ ⁦@scbodine⁩ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Well deserved Dr. Hughes. Very excited to see big things from your lab in the future!

It took a little while, but our website is finally up! Please take a look at what we’re establishing and working on in the future at UC Santa Cruz! romerolab.sites.ucsc.edu

Awesome new paper from @MVFranchi and team. Conveys an excellent story and sheds light on disuse (mal)adaptation along with shorter term recovery mechanisms.

🚨Retweets appreciated!🚨 I’m searching for my next rockstar PhD student @UCF_Kinesiology! Join @UCF_CNSlab in sunny Orlando ☀️ where we work hard but laugh at our failures along the way. Future work will primarily focus on neuromuscular aging and disuse.

Interested in the mechanisms that regulate myogenesis? If so, I think that you will enjoy our recent study in which we explore why the expression of TRIM28 in satellite cells is required for regeneration. The KO phenotype is simply stunning 1/ embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

Mitigating skeletal muscle wasting in unloading and augmenting subsequent recovery Good read from @maxmichel_ @DrMikeRoberts @MarcasBamman et al doi.org/10.1113/JP2843…

Huge joint effort here. Big thanks to external collaborators from UCF - @MattStockPhD and IHMC - @MarcasBamman and Dr. Zachary Graham. Big thanks all around and very excited to work toward seeing this published.

@TomCardaci @AJPCellPhys Great stuff Tom! Always great seeing your microscopy work.

Excited to share the 2nd paper of my F31/dissertation. We found decreases in intramyocellular lipid droplet-mitochondrial contact and changes in lipid droplet shape contribute to myosteatosis w/cachexia. Thankful for all involved! @AJPCellPhys #myotwitter journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…
