Long-term voluntary exercise reveals limited translation of hippocampal molecular responses into neuroprotection in 5xFAD mice

Karel Aceituno, Katrina Granger, Jocelyne Leon, José A. Godoy-Lugo, Khristina E. Young, Tiarra Joseph, Kailin Liu, Iris Daphne Kruijff, Emily Morales, Mia Hakian, Allison Birnbaum, Rik van der Kant, Cristal M. Hill, Constanza J. Cortés

This study shows that long-term voluntary exercise in 5xFAD mice leads to limited molecular changes in the hippocampus that do not translate into significant neuroprotection.

Single-nuclei RNA-sequencing uncovers sexually divergent exercise signatures partially mimicked by TFEB overexpression in mouse skeletal muscle

Katrina Granger, Kailin Liu, Tiarra Joseph, Ari Adler, Ian Matthews, Jocelyne Leon, Clayton Baker, Minhoo Kim, Hu Wang, Xianlin Han, Bérénice Anath Benayoun, Constanza J. Cortés

This study uses single-nucleus RNA-sequencing to compare transcriptional changes in male and female mouse skeletal muscle during exercise and TFEB overexpression, revealing sex-specific metabolic adaptation mechanisms.
