Sex disparities in age-related neuromuscular decline: unveiling female susceptibility from early to late elderly

Y. Guo, E. J. Jones, T. Smart, A. Altheyab, N. Gamage, D. Stashuk, J. Piasecki, B. Phillips, P. Atherton, M. Piasecki

This study compares sex differences in neuromuscular function and motor unit characteristics in older adults, finding females have smaller muscle size, lower strength, and greater motor unit firing variability.

Menstrual cycle associated alteration of vastus lateralis motor unit function

J. Piasecki, Y. Guo, E. J. Jones, B. E. Phillips, D. W. Stashuk, P. J. Atherton, M. Piasecki

This study examines how menstrual cycle phases affect motor unit function in vastus lateralis muscle, finding reduced firing rates of low threshold motor units during high progesterone phases without affecting neuromuscular performance.

Common synaptic inputs and persistent inward currents of vastus lateralis motor units are reduced in older age

Y. Guo, E. J. Jones, J. Skarabot, T. Inns, B. E. Phillips, P. J. Atherton, M. Piasecki

This study shows that older adults have reduced persistent inward currents and common synaptic inputs in vastus lateralis motor units, contributing to lower strength and poorer force control.

Training induced improvements in knee extensor force accuracy are associated with reduced vastus lateralis motor unit firing variability

I. A. Ely, E. J. Jones, T. B. Inns, S. Dooley, S. B. J. Miller, D. W. Stashuk, P. J. Atherton, B. E. Phillips, M. Piasecki

This study shows that force accuracy training reduces motor unit firing rate variability in the vastus lateralis, improving force tracking accuracy without increasing muscle strength.

Structure-activity studies of Streptococcus pyogenes enzyme SpyCEP reveal high affinity for CXCL8 in the SpyCEP C-terminal

M. Pearson, C. Haslam, A. Fosberry, E. J. Jones, M. Reglinski, R. J. Edwards, R. A. Lawrenson, J. C. Brown, D. Mossakowska, J. E. Pease, S. Sriskandan

This study investigates SpyCEP's enzymatic function, revealing the C-terminal's role in substrate binding and the N-terminal's necessity for full catalytic activity.

Muscle activation strategies of the vastus lateralis according to sex

Y. Guo, E. J. Jones, T. B. Inns, I. A. Ely, D. W. Stashuk, D. J. Wilkinson, K. Smith, J. Piasecki, B. E. Phillips, P. J. Atherton, M. Piasecki

This study compares neuromuscular recruitment strategies in men and women during isometric contractions, finding women use smaller motor units with higher firing rates while both sexes show similar force production strategies.
