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. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… Full breakdown of the findings in this thread 👇

Congrats mate! very well deserved. Will surely be missed in Pavia but onwards and upwards! 🥳 @andreapil8
Incredibly proud that @andreapil8 will join @GenudT in Toledo to begin his own independent research career. Warmest congratulations to the whole @GenudTteam — can’t wait to see what’s next for Andrea in this new chapter! 👏

Back-to-back papers from @AlexKeeble5 and @saragonzalezve . Working with @MVFranchi , we show that limb suspension and post-ACLR muscle exhibit fundamentally different muscle transcriptomic signatures. journals.physiology.org/doi/…

Years in the making: a detailed aging gene signature in mice and rats. >30 tissues, high Ns, multi-time points throughout the lifespan. >5000 samples in total. The data is accessible, so you check to see if your favorite gene is age-regulated. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

We developed an ex vivo live imaging pipeline with stem cells within their muscle fibre niche to recapitulate the in vivo phenotypes and allow for perturbation studies.

Thank you for highlighting our paper among the many other great papers!
This week's muscle science roundup is stacked. One of the strongest weeks I've seen: aging, hypertrophy, metabolism, disease mechanisms, and more. Whether you're a researcher or just care about your muscles, this is worth 5 minutes. 👇 biomed.news/bims-moremu/2026… #myotwitter

Happy to see our paper on muscle memory of repeated disuse now published - it was a huge team effort for all involved 💪 🧬
Our new study is now published in Advanced Science We show that skeletal muscle retains a molecular memory of disuse Young muscle shows transcriptional resilience Aged muscle shows exaggerated vulnerability advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley… @nih_sognsvann @nih_physicperf

“The Age-Dependent Resident Myonuclear Multi-Omic Response to an Acute Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophic Stimulus in Mice”. A big effort by PhD candidate PJ Koopmans! #myotwitter advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley…

Thrilled to share our new @ScienceAdvances paper where we provide evidence that mechanical stimuli drive skeletal muscle growth through TWO distinct mechanisms—and use BONCAT to visualize where the growth occurs. Take a look: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 It started from my frustration with the depressing effect that the current publishing system has on the well-being of myself, my team, and pretty much every scientist I know (maybe you’ve noticed from my stupid jokes… :) I was exhausted of dealing with the huge delays, reviewers that can be abusive, and how arbitrary it all is. Unfortunately, the most important factors are often WHO your reviewers are and who YOU are... It’s clear we need alternatives or at least ways to improve the situation. So, together with a really special and talented team we worked to develop this idea into “qed” a platform where you can get CONSTRUCTIVE feedback on your own work or CRITICALLY assess other people’s papers. It can be a real difference maker if many of you join us (thousands have tried it already, but today we release a NEW and much stronger version ;) Let’s harness qed to put the power back in the scientists’ hands, to do, to read & to publish science on our own terms. I’m dying for you to TRY IT, and it’s very simple - just drop a paper (the link to the website is in the replies👇) - it’s completely secure, private, and free, and you get results fast. Please show your support, SHARE, tell your friends, and let’s be the revolution 🫵!
