This was a very cool project to work on! More to come on this topic from our lab, I hope soon!

Nice work from @mvfranchi.bsky.social !!!

Very excited to see this Translational Perspective by Asst Prof @mvfranchi.bsky.social, Dr Christopher Fry, and Prof Michael Kjaer discussing our recent transcriptomics study on the early injury response in human quadriceps tendons in @jphysiol.bsky.social.

Our Special Issue is live in J Physiology! w/ @mvfranchi.bsky.social & Prof. Paul Greenhaff “Cardiac, skeletal muscle and neuromuscular plasticity in disuse and inactivity”. So many great contributions! Add it to your reading list #myotwitter physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14697793...

To our incredible volunteers — Your support was the heartbeat of the 30th ECSS Annual Congress. Every smile, every helping hand, every moment you devoted made a lasting impact. You were the team behind the scenes & we couldn’t have done it without you. 🙏👏 #WeAreSportScience #ECSS2025

A tour de force! Mouse, worm, and human data all telling the same story. Amazing! “microRNA-1 Regulates Metabolic Flexibility by Programming Adult Skeletal Muscle Pyruvate Metabolism” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Insulin- and exercise-induced phosphoproteomics of human skeletal muscle identify REPS1 as a regulator of muscle glucose uptake Great collaboration with @adeshmukh.bsky.social @JeppeKjaergaard.bsky.social and team @cbmr.science www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
