Agingdoc๐ฉบDr David Barzilai๐MD PhD MS MBA DipABLM Matt Yousefzadeh Just to note that the authors analyzed juvenile and middle aged mice. 6 weeks versus 42 weeks old! This is likely a maturation phenotype not an aging phenotype.

We have moved to Duke U, where weโll continue to study neuromuscular development, regeneration, and aging. Looking to fill various positions including graduate and postdoctoral. Please contact me/please share. Duke Orthopaedics Duke Cell and Molecular Biology Graduate Program Duke DSCB Duke Regeneration Center Duke Graduate School


Why do we have two H3K27 demethylases - UTX and JMJD3? Muscle stem cells require both proteins to respond to muscle injury. Kiran Nakka showed that JMJD3 turns on genes that modulate the inflammatory response while UTX turns on genes to make new myofibers. science.org/doi/10.1126/scโฆ


Congrats to Tom Cheung & colleagues for their new iScience journal paper: Global Chromatin Accessibility Profiling Analysis Reveals a Chronic Activation State in Aged Muscle Stem Cells. tinyurl.com/35533nna

Congratulations to incoming PI Pura Muรฑoz-Cรกnoves and her team on their paper in Cell Stem Cell illustrating that mitochondrial dynamics are required for tissue regeneration. cell.com/cell-stem-cellโฆ

Your every breath depends on the diaphragm. Ever wonder how that muscle develops? See our new paper! Wonderful work of Liz Sefton Dr. Brittany Collins and Mirialys, Claire, Mary, and Allyson not on twitter. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.โฆ eLife - the journal


Very excited to share our latest work in JCI insight! We performed spatial transcriptomics on volumetric muscle loss & found a cool fibrotic cell patterning! This was led by U-M BME student Jacqueline Larouche! 1/n insight.jci.org/articles/view/โฆ
