I am truly grateful for the honor and recognition!

Excited to announce the launch of the new DREAMS consortium website: dreamshorizon.eu/team/. We are dedicated to tackling five neuromuscular disorders, including DMD. Proud to contribute to this significant scientific initiative!

Inhibition of 26S proteasome activity by α-synuclein is mediated by the proteasomal chaperone Rpn14/PAAF1. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38415292/

We are recruiting a technician! Our lab studies the biology + applications of hibernation-like states with focus on neuroscience. Position is ideal for college grads interested in working largely independently for two years ahead of pursuing a PhD or MD. wibr.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/WIBR-Car…

Thrilled to share that our paper showing how tissues regulate #proteasome content in vivo is now accepted for publication Journal of Cell Biology! Congratulations to our talented postdoc Jennifer Gilda (now in Genentech) and PhD student Dharanibalan for their remarkable work! #muscle 📷

I'm honored to echo the sentiment of this tweet, as I too had the privilege of being a speaker and session chair at this excellent conference on Muscle and Exercise Physiology. I would like to thank Prof. Boris Shenkman for including me.

In Journal of Cell Biology, Gilda et al. Shenhav Shemer Lab show that, in response to catabolic stimuli, muscle cells boost #proteasome levels by inducing proteasome subunit genes & assembly chaperones in a two-phase program controlled by multiple transcription factors hubs.la/Q02xLTxH0

Thank you to Journal of Cell Biology for spotlighting our latest paper on regulation of #proteasome content in vivo! Special thanks to our collaborators, Soyeon Park (University of Colorado Boulder) and Yael Mandel-Gutfreund (Technion, Israel) for their invaluable contributions to this work.

Proteasome gene expression is dependent on both PAX4 and α-PALNRF-1. Findings from Gilda et al. Shenhav Shemer Lab show that PAX4 and α-PALNRF-1 represent new therapeutic targets to inhibit proteolysis in catabolic diseases (e.g., type-2 #diabetes, #cancer). hubs.la/Q02xLDdd0

I am deeply honored to be part of the DREAMS project and to collaborate with such a remarkable team of scientists on this groundbreaking research initiative!

I was honored to speak at Ilan Ramon International Space Conference, Israel Space Agency 🇮🇱. Inspiring lectures, brilliant scientists, and great connections. Grateful to be part of such a groundbreaking community! ws.eventact.com/ilanramon2025/… #SpaceScience #IlanRamonConference #Inspiration

Congrats to Stainier Lab and colleagues for this interesting new nature manuscript: Transcriptional adaptation upregulates utrophin in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. #DMD tinyurl.com/4ky93z67

Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore experienced zero gravity in space, accelerating their bone loss. After 9 months in microgravity, their bodies have lost balance. On returning to Earth, they won’t be able to stand immediately due to muscle atrophy. [ICSP] #sunitawilliamsreturn

New! Online now: NAD depletion in skeletal muscle does not compromise muscle function or accelerate aging dlvr.it/TKT483

🚨 Thrilled to share our new review is out in The FEBS Journal. We discuss fiber-type–specific strategies to combat muscle atrophy. Grateful to Prof Shenhav Shemer Lab for mentorship and support. Excited to see how these insights shape future therapies. #muscle tinyurl.com/3pff8d94
