1/ Why do muscles atrophy with aging and disuse?
Is it because each tiny little myofibril gets smaller… or is it because we lose myofibrils?
In our new study, we addressed this in humans and mice. https://t.co/J7nEk1r6P2
Full breakdown of the findings in this thread 👇

💉 Weight-loss injections: the good, the bad, and the unknown (Part 2)
This one might be controversial.
Part 2 covers the downsides or *potential* downsides of GLP-1RAs: Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound.
🔘 Lack of weight loss
🔘 Weight re-gain
🔘 Risk of muscle loss
🔘 Side effects
🔘 FDA black box warning for thyroid C-cell carcinoma
🔘 WHO medical product alert for NAION - aka sudden vision loss

What is dietary protein quality?
New paper in the Journal of Nutrition. My first, first-author paper since joining @DrMyohead at UAMS.
Dietary protein quality is the ability of a protein source to provide bioavailable essential amino acids (EAAs). But what affects this…?👇🏽
Led by PhD candidate Jensen Goh! #myotwitter @UKYCMB. Skeletal muscle stem cell mitochondria are transferred to muscle fibers in response to a hypertrophic stimulus https://t.co/AAN4bPtgKr
Off to my 3rd SEC school this fall- this time as a TT Asst Prof! Thrilled to announce that I will be starting my lab in the Dept of Anatomy, Physiology & Pharmacology at Auburn University's College of Vet Med! If interested in working with me & studying muscle, please reach out!
Check out our latest publication where we use single-nuclei RNA-seq to study gene expression at the neuromuscular junction: https://t.co/GU9mPiMaMw
The paper also characterizes three novel NMJ proteins including the transcription factor ETV4 and the MuSK-binding protein PDZRN4.
We are looking for a PhD student, with an interest in skeletal muscle physiology and stem cell biology, to conduct a trial in elderly subjects. Preferably with an MD background since the trial will involve a number of invasive procedures 🧑🏫 Please share and reach out…
@HorwathOscar Fantastic job to you and the team! It blows my mind how much work it must take to pull off a 36 wk intervention.🤯 Did you happen to look at changes in satellite cell abundance? Cheers!
Happy to have played a small role in this project on muscle memory. All credits to the team in Norway for their efforts in conducting such a challenging study. A nice addition to the literature on an interesting aspect of muscle physiology

I'm still looking to recruit a PhD student for my lab @UArkansas! Come learn and work with great people @uacoehp and @UofA_ESRC! Specifics below, but please feel free to DM/email any questions!
