Ageing blunts the phospho-proteomic response to resistance exercise in humans

Andrew S. Palmer, Isabelle Alldritt, William Apró, Hannah Huckstep, Oscar Horwath, Lina H.H. Le, Tabitha Cree, Sarah E. Deemer, EL Watson, Richard J. Mills, Sean J. Humphrey, Andrew Philp

This study shows that ageing reduces the phospho-proteomic response to resistance exercise in human skeletal muscle, despite normal mTORC1 activation, suggesting new therapeutic targets for aged muscle.

Anabolic and catabolic responses to different modes of exercise in patients with chronic kidney disease

Doug William Gould, Luke A. Baker, Thomas J Wilkinson, Nicholas Eastly, Robert U. Ashford, Matthew J. Denniff, Matthew P. M. Graham-Brown, Alice Smith, João L. Viana, Andy Philp, Emma L Watson

This study examines how different exercise types affect skeletal muscle in CKD patients, finding that combined aerobic-resistance exercise improves anabolic signaling and myogenic responses compared to aerobic exercise alone.

Transcriptomic Suppression of Immune and Regenerative Signalling in Skeletal Muscle of Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Luke A. Baker, Nicholas C. Eastley, Robert U. Ashford, Matthew J. Denniff, Matthew P. M. Graham-Brown, Emma L Watson

This study identifies transcriptomic changes in CKD muscle, showing suppressed immune and regenerative pathways, with 76 differentially expressed genes.

The response of the skeletal muscle transcriptome to exercise in chronic kidney disease

Luke A. Baker, Matthew P. M. Graham-Brown, Thomas James Wilkinson, Alice Caroline Smith, Emma L Watson

This study examines transcriptomic changes in skeletal muscle after aerobic and combined aerobic-resistance exercise in CKD patients, finding inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction responses.

Decreased miRNA-148a-3p expression in skeletal muscle of patients with chronic kidney disease

KA Robinson, LA Baker, Matthew P. M. Graham-Brown, RU Ashford, Izabella Pawlyckz, Rupert Major, James O. Burton, Nicolas B. Sylvius, A Cooper, Ashleigh M. Philp, EL Watson

The paper identifies decreased miRNA-148a-3p expression in CKD skeletal muscle and shows its potential role in reducing protein degradation in vitro.
