Our goal is to uncover mechanisms of skeletal muscle adaptation in neuromuscular disorders to design therapies that can block fibrosis and enhance regeneration.

Great to see @rpwohlgemuth and crew showing how collagen aligns during muscle stretching! #MyoTwitter Strain-dependent dynamic re-alignment of collagen fibers in skeletal m... sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
It was fun to have our lab featured in a recent piece by @ABC10 on the future of cultivated meat - along with colleagues at @UCDavis_CMC. giphy.com/gifs/AbEHtDalYCTbp…

Our first MyoMatrix students received their PhD hoods! I am Incredibly proud of the scientist you have each become, how you all supported each other through the tribulation of PhD life, and happy we could have some fun along the way! @sarah_brash25 , @Taryn_Loomis , @rpwohlgemuth
More big news for the lab this week. @rpwohlgemuth gave an amazing exit seminar. Soon to be Dr. Wohlgemuth showed why he is THE expert in collagen architecture in muscle. You should follow him now with more exciting work to come. Time for a celebration! @MCIPUCD
I have been neglecting posting for awhile, but big news in the lab this week. @Taryn_Loomis absolutely rocked her PhD dissertation defense! Incredibly proud of Taryn and very fortunate she did her fantastic research with the MyoMatrix Lab. Ask her all about FAPs.

@rpwohlgemuth @MyoMatrix
Ross, along with an assist from Sarah, has done a really nice job putting together our understanding of collagen architecture in skeletal muscle. @rpwohlgemuth, @sarah_brash25, @AJPCellPhys

Fun to have Ross show off his dynamic imaging of CP muscle architecture at #AACPDM2023
Great to see Taryn's works with Shriner's on the mechanosensitivity of stem cells in muscle from children with cerebral palsy presented at #AACPDM2023
Excellent work by @Taryn_Loomis synthesizing how skeletal muscle FAPs play an important role pro-fibrotic feedback loops. #myotwitter

Congratulations to Dr. Craig McDonald and team at @UCDavisHealth for treating Andrew Rodriguez from Fresno with #GeneTherapy before his 6th birthday. Thank you to Valley Children's Healthcare (valleychildrens.org), @Sarepta and Medi-Cal for working together to make this happen for Andrew and his family. 🙏🔬🧬👏

Co-editors @ehsan_ban_16, @MyoMatrix, @Wells_Lab and I are excited to share our special issue in @FrontiersIn on COLLAGEN! frontiersin.org/research-top…
It was great to see all of the students celebrating their accomplishments #UCDavisGrad. I was especially happy to be able to present to @poojadm99 and the rest of the @UCDavisBMEGG Masters students. Way to go Pooja!
This isn't a repeat, but congrats again to @rpwohlgemuth for also winning the Irving I. Hertzendorf Memorial Award recognizing his full range of scholarly attributes in @MCIPUCD
Congrats to @rpwohlgemuth on winning the Barbara Horwitz and John Horowitz Award as an outstanding graduate student in @MCIPUCD. More to come for Ross too!
