I am lucky. These 3 men are critical to have mentored me through my career to date. I can't pay back what they have given. I hope to pay some small part forward.

Check it out! Going to be exciting!

This Thursday 10/17, tune in to hear from Dr. Elizabeth Joy at Exercise is Medicine: Translating Science into Action. Dr. Joy is passionate about putting the EIM initiative into action and is the current chair for the EIM Governance Board. More Info: exercisescience-research.uark.edu

I mean we've just gotta say, this is going to be fun! Join us Thursday evening for this! In person and virtual options are available!

Tonight's speakers and American College of Sports Medicine past president's Liz Joy, Barry Franklin and Larry Durstine meet with grad students! Join is tonight for Exercise is Medicine: Translating Science into Action! In person and virtual options available.

Drs. Barry Franklin & Elizabeth Joy delivered a special lecture to students, faculty, and staff tonight in the third installment of our WE CARE Speaker Series! #coehpWECARE #ImpactfulResearch

Learn about treatment-induced muscle deficits in cachexia. Join Session I at #SCWDConference2024 for insights on radiation-induced muscle fibrosis, immune cell signatures, and sex-dependent effects. Link to Register: society-scwd.org/events/17th-in… #CancerCachexia #MedicalResearch

Manuscript acceptance dance Monday! Congrats Fran Regina_Cabrera Eleanor Schrems Kevin Murach and all others! AJP-Cell Physiology #cancercachexia

Richard Skipworth and I are very proud of our PhD students Michael Yule Leo Brown who have published in The BMJ bmj.com/content/387/bm… with Prof Steve Wigmore & Dr Rachel Waller on #cachexia Caledonian Cachexia Collaborative great work!

We just uploaded our next preprint on cancer-cachexia. Shahrzad Khajehzadehshoushtar discovered 'the mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant SkQ1 prevents mitochondrial-linked apoptosis but not necroptosis or skeletal muscle atrophy in ovarian cancer' ...why is apoptosis active?

Our 3rd new manuscript this week: Luca Delfinis, PhD found a mitochondrial-targeted compound partially prevents muscle weakness without preventing atrophy in ovarian cancer. This opens a new direction for therapies targeting muscle ‘quality’. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New work from the lab led by Fran with Regina_Cabrera Eleanor Schrems Ronald Jones Kevin Murach and more. Examining heterogeneity of cachexia at the transcriptomic level. AJP-Cell Physiology journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

Hey Myotwitter! A call for papers in AJP-Cell Physiology edited by LEMuR@Mac Cory Dungan, PhD and yours truly. We would love to see your work so send it our way! New AJP-CELL Call for Papers: Myogenic Stem Cells: From Single Cell Biology to Muscle Physiology

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39495237/ This is a bitter sweet moment. This was Jake Boykin’s first project upon starting in my lab. A drunk driver took his life when the paper was 75% complete. I hope Jake would be happy with the final publication.

The Education Committee of the Cancer Cachexia Society Society invites you to our seminar on November 13 at 12:00 pm EST with Barry Laird and Richard Skipworth, University of Edinburgh, UK. Seminars are open to everyone, please share! See cancercachexiasociety.org for link.

Very proud of Fran and excited to see this interview!

This was a lot of fun!

New out in AJP-Cell Physiology from Bonetto Lab @ CU-AMC in our special call for mechanisms in the heterogeneity of cachexia. Great work y'all! journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

Great work from Fran with @kaesser and Kevin Murach
