Our new review is out today and free to download in the SCJ! Body Recomposition: Can trained individuals build muscle and lose fat at the same time? #macroscopicmyotwitter researchgate.net/publication/34…

1/ Why do muscles atrophy with aging and disuse? Is it because each tiny little myofibril gets smaller… or is it because we lose myofibrils? In our new study, we addressed this in humans and mice. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… Full breakdown of the findings in this thread 👇

💉 Weight-loss injections: the good, the bad, and the unknown (Part 2) This one might be controversial. Part 2 covers the downsides or *potential* downsides of GLP-1RAs: Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. 🔘 Lack of weight loss 🔘 Weight re-gain 🔘 Risk of muscle loss 🔘 Side effects 🔘 FDA black box warning for thyroid C-cell carcinoma 🔘 WHO medical product alert for NAION - aka sudden vision loss Full article: josephmatthewsphd.substack.com/p/weight-loss-…

What is dietary protein quality? New paper in the Journal of Nutrition. My first, first-author paper since joining @DrMyohead at UAMS. 
Dietary protein quality is the ability of a protein source to provide bioavailable essential amino acids (EAAs). But what affects this…?👇🏽

@parry_hailey Congrats Hailey!!! Going to miss that Leica scope!? 🥲😂

I finished my last experiement at NIH. It is bittersweet to finish my training and leave my coworkers, friends, and mentors. However, I am estatic to announce that I will be joining LSU School of Kinesiology as an Assistant Professor in August. This is a dream! Geux Tigers! 🐅

Off to my 3rd SEC school this fall- this time as a TT Asst Prof! Thrilled to announce that I will be starting my lab in the Dept of Anatomy, Physiology & Pharmacology at Auburn University's College of Vet Med! If interested in working with me & studying muscle, please reach out!

@GabKardon thought you might like this since your recent paper on 3D regeneration 😃

Just Published! “An Integrated Workflow for Three-Dimensional Visualization of Human Skeletal Muscle Stem Cell Nuclei” en.bio-protocol.org/en/bpdetail?id…

Check out our latest publication where we use single-nuclei RNA-seq to study gene expression at the neuromuscular junction: nature.com/articles/s4146… The paper also characterizes three novel NMJ proteins including the transcription factor ETV4 and the MuSK-binding protein PDZRN4.

We are looking for a PhD student, with an interest in skeletal muscle physiology and stem cell biology, to conduct a trial in elderly subjects. Preferably with an MD background since the trial will involve a number of invasive procedures 🧑‍🏫 Please share and reach out…

@HorwathOscar @WiApro @MobergPhD @FilipLarsen77 @AbigailMackey1 @Rodrigo_FerGo @JuleenRZierath Congrats Oscar!!! Well done!

PhD thesis defence this Friday. I’m grateful to everyone who made it possible. Big thanks to supervisors @WiApro @MobergPhD @FilipLarsen77 for all the support and to the opponent @AbigailMackey1 and committee @Rodrigo_FerGo @JuleenRZierath and Per Stål for excellent discussions

@ChrisFryPhD @NickTThomas @UKYCMB Congrats Nick!!! You the man!!!

HUGE congrats to the newly minted Dr. @NickTThomas! So proud of you Nicky T, you crushed your defense and I’m excited to submit all your hard work shortly! Enjoy the moment, you have accomplished so much @UKYCMB

Nice to see this one out! A fun collaboration with some fellow myonuclei aficionados @EftestEinar @NiklasPsilander @KristianGunder @TrulsRaastad Credit also to @AJPCellPhys for a fast and fair review process with the short report format. journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

@Dr_JoJoShields @Dr_DeFreitas Awesome!!!! Congrats JoJo!!! Happy for you!!

Excited to join the Neural Health Research Laboratory at Syracuse University as a postdoc research associate!! Let's get to work!🍊🧠💪 @Dr_DeFreitas

@HorwathOscar Fantastic job to you and the team! It blows my mind how much work it must take to pull off a 36 wk intervention.🤯 Did you happen to look at changes in satellite cell abundance? Cheers!

Happy to have played a small role in this project on muscle memory. All credits to the team in Norway for their efforts in conducting such a challenging study. A nice addition to the literature on an interesting aspect of muscle physiology physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP…

@BM_Roberts_SkM @USArmy @TeamUsariem @LisaMRoberts5 Congrats Brandon!! Awesome!

Today I had the honor of being promoted to Major in the @USArmy. I couldn’t have done it without the people @TeamUsariem. Special shout out to my wife @LisaMRoberts5 for always supporting me ❤️

I'm still looking to recruit a PhD student for my lab @UArkansas! Come learn and work with great people @uacoehp and @UofA_ESRC! Specifics below, but please feel free to DM/email any questions!
