Off to my 3rd SEC school this fall- this time as a TT Asst Prof! Thrilled to announce that I will be starting my lab in the Dept of Anatomy, Physiology & Pharmacology at Auburn University's College of Vet Med! If interested in working with me & studying muscle, please reach out!
Led by PhD candidate Jensen Goh! #myotwitter @UKYCMB. Skeletal muscle stem cell mitochondria are transferred to muscle fibers in response to a hypertrophic stimulus academic.oup.com/function/advan…
A tour de force by @AhmedIsmaeelPhD @UKYCMB et al. Mouse, worm, and human data all telling the same story. Amazing! microRNA-1 Regulates Metabolic Flexibility by Programming Adult Skeletal Muscle Pyruvate Metabolism @MolMetab #myotwitter sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Soo pumped to see this paper online! Much of my work over the past 3 years. Fitting to be ending my time at @UKYCMB with this one- I learned a lot, made new collaborations, and it led to important discoveries and data for the field #myotwitter sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Great science, great opportunity to present work from the lab, and awesome to catch up with friends and colleagues at #apssummit2025!



Newst @UKYCMB collaboration led by @KirbyMayerDPT. We found evidence of poor physical function, aberrant muscle repair, and altered mitochondrial activity in patients surviving an ICU admission for #COVIDー19. journals.lww.com/ccejournal/ful…
Happy to see our paper online now at @JCI_insight! @UKYCMB - Extracellular vesicle transfer of miR-1 to adipose tissue modifies lipolytic pathways following resistance exercise insight.jci.org/articles/view/…
Our first #ArticleinPress of the week is also an #OpenAccess piece from teams at @UKYMedicine and @ukchs. Skeletal muscle hypertrophy: cell growth is cell growth (Benjamin Burke et al.): ow.ly/hOgU50TtuoP
An important topic here! Satellite cell dynamics are likely unique to the stimulus. Nice overview here! @UKYCMB @jjmcca2_john “Satellite cell dynamics during skeletal muscle hypertrophy” #myotwitter portlandpress.com/biochemsoctran…
Important study from @cmb_lab on the effects of revascularization on muscle fiber pathology and mitochondrial respiration in PAD nature.com/articles/s4159…
New @biorxivpreprint by John McCarthy’s group is fascinating! Microbial-Derived Exerkines Prevent Skeletal Muscle Atrophy biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
.@AJPCellPhys #APSselect study suggests cocoa flavanols activate pathway that increases antioxidant proteins & protects people w/#PAD from muscle damage. Activation may be important target to help people with #PAD walk better: ow.ly/Jy9R50QLJKo CC: @AhmedIsmaeelPhD, @UKYCMB
