New @ISMCopenhagen publication with Casper @Soendenbroe on human muscle fibre type remodelling with age and exercise🏃💪 Nice to see such simple observations still have value! #myotwitter link.springer.com/article/10…

MyHC–SERCA mismatch as a marker of fiber-type remodeling in aging human skeletal muscle

Skeletal Muscle - Skeletal muscle fibers are commonly classified according to myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform, but fiber-type identity also involves coordinated expression of calcium-handling...

The Ozempidemic — is social media telling the full story?

To strain the surplus of information about GLP-1 medication circulating on social media, The Cavalier Daily spoke to those on the frontlines of the phenomenon — University medical professionals and a...

New in PNAS: Age-related muscle decline is driven by mitochondrial dysfunction—but exercise can remodel mitochondria, restore muscle function, and reduce frailty, even later in life. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

Mitochondrial remodeling in skeletal muscle underlies exercise-induced reversal of age-associated...

Loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength are common manifestations of frailty in older people and are linked to reduced quality of life. However, ...

Super proud to share the first original research paper from my new lab: "Weight loss with GLP-1 medicines does not result in a disproportionate loss of muscle mass or function in obese mice and humans" cell.com/cell-reports-medici…

Weight loss with GLP-1 medicines does not result in a disproportionate loss of muscle mass or...

Langer et al. show that GLP-1 medicines mildly reduce absolute muscle mass but improve relative mass and running performance in mice. Despite similar changes to body weight, GLP-1RA affects the...

A very important point is the safety point: this paper shows you can significantly decrease myostatin levels throughout a person’s lifetime, and the result is more muscle, less fat, increased strength, and no noticeable side effects
