Researching how exercise, nutrition and aging alter musculoskeletal function

@SamueleMarcora Big books have more information than big biceps

[Keith Baar @MuscleScience]

@aazgaard Yes. It has. Here is one of the papers.

For those suffering tendinopathy (our medically treating them). Our paper on why/how isometric loading improves tendon phenotype gives some molecular support to using 30s isometric holds in tendon repair. https://t.co/66COv50Y4c

@JonJonMegatron Great question. We don't see a direct effect of fluoroquinolones in our engineered ligament. This suggests they might work indirectly, such as by changing the microbiome (still needs research). If that is the case, the threat lasts until the microbiome recovers.

Interested in injury prevention and rehabilitation in baseball? This might be an interesting meeting.

I will talk about ways to possibly prevent injury and how to optimize native tissue repair after injury.

It should be fun!

The question of how incretin-mimetics (i.e., GLP-1RA like semaglutide) affect muscle mass and function is very important and has been haunting the field for quite a while now. So, I am particularly pleased to share our recent paper on the matter:

@HughesDC_Muscle I'm so happy for you Dave!

I can't wait to see the great things your lab does.

I will always be here to support that journey in any way you need.

After six days of loading, we measure the size and strength of the ligaments by loading them into the 3D printed grips that we designed for our @instron material tester.

[Keith Baar @MuscleScience]

Our pre-clinical studies are still going strong too. If you ever wonder how we exercise our 3D engineered human ligaments, here my student Jared Ong is loading them into their gym (bioreactor) and placing them in the incubator.

[Keith Baar @MuscleScience]

I'm super excited to start playing with our new @KangaTech_ KT360 RFD. We are hoping that this will help us develop the next generation of training plans to reverse tendinopathy. Studies on PHT, PT, AT, shoulder, and elbow programs are all in the works.

[Keith Baar @MuscleScience]

Here is a great opportunity to work with an outstanding young researcher. If you want to study muscle metabolism, you are going to want to apply for this position.

[Henning Langer @HenningLanger]

Hey Muscle And Metabolism Folks on Twitter, @LykkeSylow and I are looking for a Postdoc who is interested in applying for a prestigious @DDEA_Denmark fellowship with us. More details in the picture attached. Please share widely! @MYOTWlTTER

[Keith Baar @MuscleScience]

@tvaughn43 Thanks for the reminder! I need to revise it and get it back to co-authors ASAP. It will be out soon

[Eric Cressey @EricCressey]

Isometrics for the win! Dr. Keith Baar (@MuscleScience) was an awesome guest on the latest podcast; his research on isometric work has been incredibly impactful in the performance and rehab communities. https://t.co/clseYeTsgd

[Wes Gray 🇺🇸 @alphaarchitect]

Super fan of @MuscleScience since his research has helped me manage multiple injuries. High recommend

[Keith Baar @MuscleScience]

Check out our latest paper. This one is on training the tendons of the fingers.

25 years ago today, I got into my baggy pants and married the woman of my dreams. Happy anniversary @BarbMiltner1

[Keith Baar @MuscleScience]

Does anyone know if LC Labs is still open and shipping chemicals? I can't get a hold of anyone and just need to know if we need to look elsewhere. Thanks.

[Keith Baar @MuscleScience]

@MarkEPepin @StanCVFellows @joshuawknowles @EldrinL Great to have you back in the area. Can't wait to see you again.
