Yes! Great perspective from Cedric🧬➰🧬Feschotte lab and co! journals.biologists.com/dev/article/14… An interesting point is where we showed exercise downregulates the TE LINE-1 and impacts proliferation - big jump (no pun intended) to suggest an interaction rn, but interesting. Mike Roberts

Now published in Research Policy: I looked at 27k postdoc salaries across the US, their relationship to cost of living, tenure-track job prospects, and how things have been changing over time. Here's what I found: doi.org/10.1016/j.resp…

Exercise is a promising non-pharmacological strategy to maintain and improve brain function. Exercise stimulates the production of exerkines from tissues such as skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, or liver, which affect the nervous system… nature.com/articles/s4157…

Starting a new medication for my UC today. Hopefully this is the one!

One of the many ways that exercise is helpful. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Our work on the discovery of a biochemical mechanism through which lactate regulates protein function, cell cycle, and proliferation, is out today in @nature. Congrats to lead authors Weihai, Yun, Luiz Bozi & Patrick! A 🧵 @HarvardCellBio Dana-Farber nature.com/articles/s4158…

Human biology is so complicated yet so interesting journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

I sang the old theme song for TMNT and my daughter made me show her what show it was from… she’s currently obsessed. I’ve been waiting my whole life for this moment!

Wowza, Doug Millay! Wonderful!

Wowza! A great review! Juleen R. Zierath Kevin Murach Jonathon Smith KenDyar

Congrats to Melissa Spencer & colleagues for their new #MolTherMethClinDev manuscript: Innate and Adaptive AAV-mediated Immune Responses in a Mouse Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. tinyurl.com/35h54r27

Great job! Mike Roberts @kaesser

readcube.com/library/6e7185… What a cool paper on a subunit from a chromatin modifying complex and its impact on endurance capacity.

Please exercise! A little goes a long way.

One of the most impactful collaborations our lab will ever partake in. High resolution myofibril imaging led by the The Hornberger Lab. In sum, resistance training in humans increases myofibril # (not size) in type II (not type I) fibers. Let's go!!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Take a look at our recent work just out Nature Cell Biology So excited it’s finally out! Thank you to everyone who worked on this project over many years to make this beautiful story! Very proud of all the hard work! Congrats Mike Hicks and all! nature.com/articles/s4155…

👀 All those PAX7 cells made from iPSCs! Retained after transplant 💉 🐭
