If you want the latest on mechanisms that regulate muscle hypertrophy, look no further than this paper: Mechanisms of mechanical overload-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy: current understanding and future directions journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…

Relative rDNA copy number is not associated with resistance training-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy and does not affect myotube anabolism in vitro | ⁦Joshua Godwin⁩ ⁦Max Michel⁩ ⁦Mike Roberts⁩ | #myotwitter pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39005083/

Effects of training status on atrophy-hypertrophy outcomes with leg immobilization & recovery resistance training. Awesome pre-print led by Max Michel and help from Joshua Godwin Daniel Plotkin and others with collab from Matt Stock, PhD & Marcas Bamman, PhD biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share the 2nd paper of my F31/dissertation. We found decreases in intramyocellular lipid droplet-mitochondrial contact and changes in lipid droplet shape contribute to myosteatosis w/cachexia. Thankful for all involved!

Huge joint effort here. Big thanks to external collaborators from UCF - Matt Stock, PhD and IHMC - Marcas Bamman, PhD and Dr. Zachary Graham. Big thanks all around and very excited to work toward seeing this published.

Mitigating disuse-induced skeletal muscle atrophy in ageing: Resistance exercise as a critical countermeasure pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39106083/ Great work from James McKendry, Ph.D. Giulia Coletta Changhyun Lim Everson Nunes #prehab #rehab #sarcopenia #aging #muscle

Interested in the mechanisms that regulate myogenesis? If so, I think that you will enjoy our recent study in which we explore why the expression of TRIM28 in satellite cells is required for regeneration. The KO phenotype is simply stunning 1/ embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

🚨Retweets appreciated!🚨 I’m searching for my next rockstar PhD student UCF Kinesiology! Join UCF CNS Lab in sunny Orlando ☀️ where we work hard but laugh at our failures along the way. Future work will primarily focus on neuromuscular aging and disuse.

Awesome new paper from Martino V. Franchi and team. Conveys an excellent story and sheds light on disuse (mal)adaptation along with shorter term recovery mechanisms.

Well deserved Dr. Hughes. Very excited to see big things from your lab in the future!

Response of UBR-box E3 ubiquitin ligases and protein quality control pathways to perturbations in protein synthesis and skeletal muscle size New Preprint & first senior author article 🚨 | ⁦Craig A. Goodman⁩ ⁦Professor Adam Sharples⁩ ⁦Sue Bodine⁩ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New research with Dave Hughes We've shown UBR5 links to human muscle growth & memory. Now his lab has investigated most UBR proteins-finding-ALL are regulated by growth &regrowth UBRs maybe key to protein quality control! UBR5 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=sharples… biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
