I've worked together with @astro_timpeake ever since he was appointed @esa astronaut, and it has been an awful lot of fun - and this not the end of that journey! I look forward to seeing what the next chapter bring. Thank you Tim for all your have done, and will do, for UK space.
UK @ESA astronaut @astro_timpeake has announced he is stepping down as an astronaut to take on an ambassadorial role for space. 👨🚀

A C. elegans model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy reveals a potential role for disrupted sulfur metabolism in the disease and thus the therapeutic potential of sulfur amino acid supplementation.

The worms are back! 🪱🚀
Following their trip the @Space_Station, the MME2 worms, which are part of a UK-led experiment into muscular degradation, are back safely on Earth, ready for inspection. 🔬

EXCITING NEWS! The MME2 worms have made it back to Earth and are now in the Ohio labs. Here is a picture of one of the experimental cassettes we have removed from the freezer ready for opening. Stay tuned for more updates. #wormsinspace #MME2 @ohiou @spacegovuk @UNAD_Research

I don’t normally post our own papers and this one is very different to what we normally do but hopefully it might be helpful for others looking to restart Physiology research in older adults cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.113…

Physiologica, a new @MDPIOpenAccess journal has a special edition now open with a deadline of September 24th. This issue will focus on human musculoskeletal, endocrine, adipose and cardiovascular physiology in health, aging, and/or disease mdpi.com/journal/physiologia…

We are currently looking to recruit healthy young and older adult males to take part in a study investigating a “super-whey” protein supplement on muscle building across the lifespan. Please see poster below for more info. RTs greatly appreciated. @IzzyEly1

Can a drug help you build more muscle with exercise training? This study is looking for healthy male participants over 55 years old, please see below poster for more info. Please RT. @EleanorJones12

Given how difficult this last year has been, especially for those in care homes, it would be great if I could raise some money and awareness with @csbd7 for the @alzheimerssoc via the South West Coast2Coast Challenge justgiving.com/fundraising/b… Thanks in advance x

Tomorrow is the last day you can apply to be the next UK @ESA astronaut (for the first time in over a decade)!
Do you have any questions about the process? Drop them below and we'll see if we can help. ❓👇

In a recent study, @csbd7 and colleagues highlight molecular signatures of muscle adaptation to disuse and resistance exercise training in adults. @MogwaiBeth onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Just a little something that @worms_space, @UniofNottingham @UniofExeter, #KayserSpace, @spacegovuk and me have been working on for a couple of years 😀
The Molecular Muscle Experiment-2 arrived at the @Space_Station on Saturday, and we had to process it immediately. Inside these cartridges are microscopic worms, C. Elegans, that are monitored to research muscle decay.

Amazing to watch the early morning @SpaceX launch. First time seeing one in the dark hours 🚀
