Looking forward to seeing how much more we discover from studying this incredible #woman! Very grateful to get to work with a great group of Italian scientists! #myotwitter @MVFranchi @PorcelliSimone @HIPE_lab
Fantastic piece in the @washingtonpost about our “Wonder Woman” 🏃🏻♀️➡️🏆Emma Mazzenga🏆🏃🏻♀️, starring in two upcoming articles from our TrajectorAGE study (more info here: https://t.co/BHEBRmpGlY). with @PorcelliSimone @CWSundberg and @martacolosio 🥇🏃🏻♀️🔥

Very excited to share that the Integrative Muscle Physiology & Energetics (IMPE) lab is moving to the University of Wisconsin (@UWMadison)! My lab team thinks we should change to the WIMPE lab, studying #aging #muscle at #Wisconsin. What do you think? #myotwitter

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 https://t.co/JWca6dVU2a

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: https://t.co/SrpPn6kjlQ 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: https://t.co/d17uQfXARI

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 ➡️ https://t.co/Q122Cl1lou. We just published a follow up in @JPhysiol, and the age-related loss in fast fiber power and size is truly remarkable. #exercise 🏋️♂️💪#myotwitter ➡️ https://t.co/XuGCLug31v

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. https://t.co/ZPuDZnKbFQ

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
