Impressive!!! Beautiful sequence of studies @HornbergerLab @mackinprof and colleagues! The 🏋️♂️🚴♂️ to 🐭 design is such a powerful approach to unlocking the secrets of how exercise elicits so many adaptations! Congratulations!! #myotwitter.
1/10 Excited to write this thread summarizing our new paper in @NatMetabolism, which identifies a potentially critical part of the signaling pathway that drives skeletal muscle growth in response to resistance exercise! .Free link .#Myotwitter @NIH_NIAMS

We are ending our seminar series this semester with a bang! Sarah Greising will be sharing some of her research on the #physiology of #skeletalmuscle after #injury. If you are interested in joining us online tomorrow, please DM me! #myotwitter.
Our last seminar series speaker of the semester will be presenting tomorrow! Dr. Sarah Greising, from the University of Minnesota, will speak about the Physiology of Muscle Remaining After Injury: How Limited Is It?

Interested in what the physiological profiles of elite female #aging looks like, check out the data from two world record holder #masters #athletes presented by PhD student @Zepeda_CS and postdoc @martacolosio at the @APSPhysiology Summit tonight! #APS2025 #myotwitter
91-yr old woman smashed a world record in 200m sprint, prompting scientists to examine her physiology to learn how she runs so fast. They're presenting their findings at #APS2025. More: . Photo credit: iStock CC: @martacolosio, @HIPE_lab, @CWSundberg

The Journal of Physiology publishes research in all areas of physiology and pathophysiology that illustrates new physiological principles or mechanisms.
🎉 Our first issue of 2025 is now live! 🎉 . This #SpecialIssue organised by Dr Christopher W. Sundberg (@ahprc) focuses on the physiology of ageing skeletal muscle and the protective effects of exercise 🧬 . 🔗 Read it here:

Exquisite sequence of studies from 🏋️♂️ to 🐁🧬 reveals key components of the signaling pathways mediating 💪 growth in response to resistance exercise. Beautiful work @HornbergerLab @mackinprof @Coon_Labs and colleagues! #myotwitter.
Our new preprint is out "Identification of a Resistance Exercise-Specific Signaling Pathway that Drives Skeletal Muscle Growth". Collaborative project with @Coon_Labs and @mackinprof that took 8 years to finish. Hopefully you think it was worth the wait

Thank you @sweatscience for the nice write up featuring our study in @japplphysiol ➡️ We just published a follow up in @JPhysiol, and the age-related loss in fast fiber power and size is truly remarkable. #exercise 🏋️♂️💪#myotwitter ➡️

After 40, you lose ~0.5-1% of your muscle mass each year. but your muscle *power* drops by 2-4%! That's a problem for healthy aging as well as sports. The trigger may be loss of fast-twitch fibers, which suggest plyos and heavy weights should help.

I’m looking forward to another excellent semester of @ahprc seminar speakers @MarquetteU! DM me if you have any interest in joining us either in person or virtually!.
The AHPRC Seminar Series is back! We have a great lineup of speakers who will be visiting campus this semester and will be speaking on a variety of different topics. All seminars will be held in the AHPRC Film Room (AH-216) on 9/19, 10/10, 10/24, and 11/7.

Curious why we lose strength, especially power, faster than muscle mass as we age? We aimed to identify how much this phenomena is due to impairments in the #nervous system vs the #muscle and whether it differs w/very advanced age (>80) or in men vs women. ✅ it out! #myotwitter.

It took longer than expected, but I think many interested in #aging #skeletalmuscle might be interested in this crosstalk debate published in @JPhysiol. "Reduced oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle IS/IS NOT an inevitable consequence of adult ageing." #mitochondria #MyoTwitter.
Another question for those interested in #aging #skeletalmuscle: is a reduced oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle #mitochondria an obligatory consequence of healthy adult aging? #myotwitter.

A bit late…but May ended with a bang! Postdoc @NicolasRoyer and PhD student @Zepeda_CS gave talks on our ongoing aging muscle research at #ACSM2024, and we welcomed the newest future physiologist, Ruby Joan Sundberg on 5/30! #myotwitter
