So proud of the first PhD student from the lab Dr. Ron Jones. Don’t know what we will do without him around. He’s off to bigger and better things though. Also, note the rainbow (over the blue dinosaur) in the background. Poetic. #myoblue

Nice feature in @theatlantic.com by @bonnietsui.bsky.social
Our lab’s latest study reveals that skeletal muscle doesn’t just remember growth- it also remembers inactivity. Repeated disuse leaves a molecular imprint that shapes future responses.

💪🧠Thrilled to be awarded this grant to study how exercise supports the motoneurone-muscle interaction during ageing - with awesome collaborators @kevinmurachphd.bsky.social and Kristine Freude

Nice work and congrats @kevinmurachphd.bsky.social & colleagues for their new #SkeletalMuscle paper: Displaced myonuclei are attributable to both resident myonuclear migration and stem cell fusion during mechanical loading in adult skeletal muscle. #Myoblue tinyurl.com/3vhxwku4
Upcoming Postdoc Position! With Chris Nelson’s lab at U of A, we are looking for a fully supported 2-year postdoc to work on muscle gene editing and detection of gene doping in vivo. If interested, email myself and Chris: kmurach@uark.edu and nelsonc@uark.edu #myoblue
First post on Blue Sky
New pre-print!
Does muscle remember disuse muscle wasting?
Our new study shows skeletal muscle retains a molecular memory of disuse!
Young muscle shows transcriptional resilience to repeated atrophy.
Aged muscle shows exaggerated susceptibility.

Might have had to do with the age gap of the mice and/or the fiber type transition. We and others see growth in >4 month old C57s.
