New bioRxiv preprint from Pascal Maire’s group is out! I’m happy to have made a small contribution and to be included as a co-author. “c-MAF transduces motor neuron firing to sustain fast-glycolytic myofibers and neuromuscular junctions” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #myoblue

Our mini-review on large Maf transcription factors—the principal regulators of fast-twitch myofibers that we identified—has just been published. www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/trs/...

Excited to share our new paper in Skeletal Muscle! We show that large Maf transcription factors can robustly induce MYH4, normally silent in humans. In human muscle, Mafa and Maf expression correlate with fast fiber content. #myoblue rdcu.be/ex0un

Our new review, “The Multifaceted Role of MyoD in Adult Skeletal Muscle: Homeostasis, Regeneration, and Diseases,” is now available online in AJP Cell Physiol. journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1... @myoblue.bsky.social

Building upon our previous study published in Cell Rep (10.1016/j.celrep.2023.112289), which identified large Mafs as essential regulators of type IIb myofiber specification in mice, this work extends our understanding to humans. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... #Myotwitter
