Excited to share our latest work on 'the effect of resistance training, detraining and retraining on muscle strength and power, myofibre size, satellite cells and myonuclei in older men' (S. Blocquiaux et al.). doi.org/10.1016/j.exge… @debocklab Ruud Van Thienen

No time to exercise?

We're hiring! Na het afronden van succesvol doctoraat Jan Stautemas (Jan Flavanautemas) rekruteren we een nieuwe voltijdse assistent/doctoraatsstudent rond spierfysiologie & metabolisme in TeamDerave. Solliciteren tot 9 juni. career012.successfactors.eu/career?company…

Check out our new paper on epi-memory and methylome rejuvenating effects of resistance training in human muscle samples. #MyoTwitter Huge amount of work, in collaboration with Martine Thomis @debocklab Ruud Van Thienen Published at BioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Outstanding! I loved an early peek at Sara Blocquiaux ‘s viva. Hugely extends our knowledge in epigenetic memory. Nice comparisons with our earlier memory& recent aging data biorxiv.org/content/10.110… & Aging ⏰ Nir Eynon Amazing supervisors! Martine Thomis @debocklab Ruud Van Thienen

Extremely excited to finally share our newest paper: Histamine H1 and H2 receptors are essential transducers of the integrative exercise training response in humans. Published today in Science Advances. A thread: (1/12) advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/16/e…

... LauraBlancquaert (doing the training intervention together was a lot of fun), Flore Stassen (ex-Master student with amazing visualization skills), Inge Everaert (co-supervisor from which I learned a ton), Ruud Van Thienen (for the nice biopsy sampling test days), (11/12)

💥Tadej Pogacar's 'MONSTROUS record time at Coll de Rates' (Cycling Weekly😬) has been broken by Victor Campenaerts in training today (24'37min @ 5,99w/kg via Strava) - get ready for a belgian Tour de France winner.

Wow! 8 straffe kandidaten voor de PhDcup 2022. We zijn een beetje gebiased, maar de pitch van Eline Lievens over spiervezels steekt er toch nog wat bovenuit 💪 Oordeel zelf en stem op phdcup.be/publieksprijs

We are happy to share our new bioRxiv paper on the profiling of histidine-containing dipeptides across mice, rats and humans. Really fun team effort with co-first authors Jan Spaas and Sarah de Jager. 👇👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/4)
