Sharing our paper - incretin receptors in peripheral nervous system. Much work w these signals centered on functions in brain only, but clearly also neural actions in PNS. We show staining on human nerves. Great work by @sousaerica90 in our lab #incretins tinyurl.com/5n6e99wy
The Study of Muscle Mobility and Aging (SOMMA) is open for enrollment!! SOMMA is a longitudinal cohort study designed to examine the biological properties of skeletal muscle that predict onset of disability or dementia in older adults. sommaonline.ucsf.edu

WTF! Leadership of the National Institute on Aging was apparently “decimated,” with deputy director Amy Kelly and scientific director Luigi Ferrucci— “one of the brightest luminaries in the world in gerontology,” per a source — among those fired. splinter.com/bloodbath-at-n…
Congrats @MattStockPhD ! Great study!!
PUBLISHED in @japplphysiol! Working with @DrMikeRoberts and co, we investigated atrophic, hypertrophic, and molecular adaptations associated with 2 wks of immobilization followed by 8 wks of resistance training, comparing the results between trained vs untrained participants.
The Global Consensus on #HealthyLongevity emphasizes: 🌟 Movement is the key to a healthy life! 🌟 Scientific evidence shows that staying physically active, maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption are essential for well-being at any age.…
Delighted to share a recent consensus statement on the integration of PA into health promotion, disease prevention, and management strategies for older adults. This is a very comprehensive set of guidelines and rationale. Enjoy!

Ralph DeFronzo giving a masterclass on metabolism and insulin resistance today at TRI! One take home (of many): vascular IR and its contribution to CVD is often overlooked! It’s about more than just glucose control!

Come join us in Columbus in February!! @OhioStateDHLRI @OSUWexMed

Great talk @HeWaHippo! I learned a lot about the importance of glucose on tissue growth (cancer and healthy tissue growth)
Great honour to present our ideas on the biochemistry of muscle hypertrophy at @BiochemExercise at @UL in front of many exercise physiology legends!🍀🍀🍀
Great talk by @Sale_ExNut on exercise and bone health at @BiochemExercise @HRI_UL @UL. Learning a lot about exercise and non-muscle tissues at this #IBEC2024 session!
