Learned so much during the literature dive on this one! Grateful to have a mentor who gives me the experience of writing review articles. Big thanks to our collaborators for making this review much more comprehensive!

Hi #myotwitter Don’t miss this week’s selection of papers on the regulation of skeletal muscle mass, aging, and exercise. 👇 biomed.news/bims-moremu/20… Dave Hughes PJ Koopmans @constanza343 Thank you for the presort ! Bims: Biomed News

Catching up on some experiments with the boss over break! Loving our new Tyto: the “BMW” of sorters!

In Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews a review by Ronald Jones w/Ferdinand von Walden presenting the idea that MYC induction in muscle could have potential benefits during aging “Exercise-Induced MYC as an Epigenetic Reprogramming Factor That Combats Skeletal Muscle Aging” #myotwitter pdfs.journals.lww.com/acsm-essr/9900…

Fantastic work led by ⁦Joshua Godwin⁩ with collab from Gustavo and Andy showing rDNA copy number is not associated with resistance training-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy in a larger human cohort and does not affect myotube anabolism. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great job Sebastian Edman Ronald Jones w/Ferdinand von Walden et al. “The 24-Hour Time Course of Integrated Molecular Responses to Resistance Exercise in Human Skeletal Muscle Implicates MYC as a Hypertrophic Regulator That is Sufficient for Growth” #myotwitter biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Stellar 2-year effort by Joshua Godwin with help from Max Michel Cleiton Libardi Christopher Fry Ivan Vechetti John McCarthy and several others. Integrative look into Vimentin as a mechanosensitive gene during skeletal muscle hypertrophy. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Some more strong work from Fran and Regina_Cabrera !! 💪🏼

Delighted to share this pre-print in which we investigated the specific function of miR-1, the most abundant miRNA in skeletal muscle. Our findings identify miR-1 as a regulator of pyruvate metabolism and metabolic flexibility. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

9/ Shoutout to co-first authors Jamie Hibbert and Kent Jorgenson, PhD and the rest of the team pushing this 8-year-long project to the finish line. The next step is to get it published. Please give it a repost if you think it will be impactful for the field. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super thrilled to be sharing the first of my dissertation work. An absolute mountain of data to make sense of w/ help from Ronald Jones Regina_Cabrera Fran Ahmed Ismaeel

Upcoming Postdoc Position! With Chris Nelson’s lab at U of A, we are looking for a fully supported 2-year postdoc to work on muscle gene editing and detection of gene doping in vivo. If interested, email myself and Chris: [email protected] and [email protected] #myotwitter
