Exercise preconditioning confers skeletal muscle myometaplasticity

Toby L. Chambers, Ana Regina Cabrera, Ronald G. Jones, Pieter Jan Koopmans, Francielly Morena, Nathan Serrano, Aram Parhizkar, Calvin S. Peterson, Abbey L. Stokes, Zain B. Malik, Konstantinos Papanikolaou, Ferdinand von Walden, Davis A. Englund, Cory M. Dungan, Christopher E. Nelson, , Kevin A. Murach

The paper shows that exercise preconditioning enhances skeletal muscle hypertrophy through epigenetic and metabolic changes, specifically involving Smox and Wnt signaling.

Transient MYC Mimicking the Exercise Response Orchestrates Multifaceted Skeletal Muscle Adaptations

Ronald G. Jones, Pieter Jan Koopmans, Nathan Serrano, Ana Regina Cabrera, Francielly Morena, Toby L. Chambers, Ruth Walters, Agnieszka Borowik, Michael E. Taylor, Ross P. Wohlgemuth, JL Miller, Abigail L Zirbel, Lea C. Range, Sebastian Edman, Ferdinand von Walden, , Kevin A. Murach

The paper shows that transient MYC activation in skeletal muscle mimics exercise-induced adaptations, leading to hypertrophy, metabolic changes, and fiber type shifts.

Myonuclear loss, rather than senescent myonuclei, associates with fiber type-specific atrophy in aging human skeletal muscle

Carlos S. Zepeda, Isabell Dobrzycki, Paige Acklie, Cory M. Dungan, Ronald G. Jones, Kevin A. Murach, Christopher W. Sundberg

This study shows that myonuclear loss, not senescent myonuclei, is linked to fast fiber atrophy in aging human skeletal muscle.

The Age-Dependent Resident Myonuclear Multi-Omic Response to a Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophic Stimulus

Pieter Jan Koopmans, Ronald G. Jones, Ana Regina Cabrera, Francielly Morena da Silva, Nicholas Perry Greene, John Joseph McCarthy, Ahmed Ismaeel, Yuan Wen, Kevin A. Murach

This study examines age-related differences in myonuclear multi-omic responses to muscle hypertrophy in mice, identifying transcriptional, epigenetic, and regulatory mechanisms underlying age-dependent muscle plasticity.

The Time-Course of Cancer Cachexia Onset Reveals Biphasic Transcriptional Disruptions in Female Skeletal Muscle Distinct from Males

Francielly Morena da Silva, Seongkyun Lim, Ana Regina Cabrera, Eleanor R. Schrems, Ronald G. Jones, Megan E. Rosa‐Caldwell, Tyrone A. Washington, Kevin A. Murach, Nicholas Perry Greene

This study identifies biphasic transcriptional changes in female skeletal muscle during cancer cachexia, distinct from males, with sex-specific gene expression patterns and implications for therapeutic targets.
