This review explores how neuromuscular issues like neuronal dysfunction and muscle atrophy cause dysfunctions in schizophrenia which are improved by training.

MHRC Papers of the Month - September Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention of CVD Redfern J. et al. | Cardiovascular Health Journal yorku.ca/mhrc/wp-conten…

This paper urges the application of the "5 P's" framework—personalization, processes, patient care, parlance, and partnership— which supports better long-term CVD management.

We are excited to host the Neuromuscular Disease For Canada Basic Research Summer School here in the Muscle Health Research Centre! Muscle Health Neuromuscular Disease Network for Canada (NMD4C) Register for limited trainee spots! Check out the program including the hands-on training in muscle physiology techniques.

MHRC Papers of the Month - October Inspiratory Muscle Training and Post-Viral Conditions Edgell H. et al. | Heather Edgell's Lab | Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology Journal yorku.ca/mhrc/wp-conten…

This pilot shows that 8 weeks of IMT improves inspiratory strength, HR, and sleep in Long COVID and ME/CFS by improving vascular function, pain reduction, and quality of life. Check out the full text and dive into the findings from our great researchers!

MHRC Papers of the Month - October Dairy and Exercise in Bone Health Cheng N. et al. | Andrea Josse, PhD's Lab | Current Osteoporosis Reports Journal yorku.ca/mhrc/wp-conten…

This review explores how dairy and exercise impact bone health. Dairy supports bone density, especially in youth and adults, and enhances exercise benefits. Check out the full text and dive into the findings from our great researchers!

MHRC Papers of the Month - November Ischemia‐Induced Cardiac Dysfunction is Exacerbated in Adiponectin-Knockout Mice Hye Kyoung Sung et al. | Dr. Ali Abdul-Sater and Dr. Gary Sweeney Labs | Clinical and Translational Science Journal pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38515365/

This work examined adiponectin's role in cardiac autophagy and ischemia-induced dysfunction. In adiponectin-knockout mice, lack of adiponectin worsened cardiac dysfunction post-ischemia by impairing autophagy. Adiponectin enhanced AMPK-mTOR signaling, reducing oxidative stress.

Congratulations to David A Hood on receiving the Canadian Physiological Society Sarazzin Award in recognition of his numerous contributions to the study of muscle physiology and metabolism!
