ULK1 and ULK2 Restrain Skeletal Myofiber Growth by Balancing Protein Synthesis and Degradation

Wangkuk Son, Jordan D. Fuqua, Matthew P. Harris, Ryan J. Allen, Ana Kronemberger, Julia Hughes, Luís Gustavo Oliveira de Sousa, Lenoid Zingman, Sue C. Bodine, Benjamin F. Miller, Vitor Agnew Lira

This study shows that ULK1 and ULK2 regulate skeletal muscle growth by balancing protein synthesis and degradation, with lifelong deficiency causing hypertrophy but reduced muscle quality and function, while short-term deficiency allows hypertrophy without impairment.

Altered Relaxation and Mitochondria-Endoplasmic Reticulum Contact Sites Precede Major (Mal)adaptations in Aging Skeletal Muscle and are Prevented by Exercise

Ryan J. Allen, Ana Kronemberger, Qian Shi, R. Marshall Pope, Elizabeth Cuadra‐Muñoz, Wangkuk Son, Long‐Sheng Song, Ethan J. Anderson, Renata Oliveira Pereira, Vitor Agnew Lira

This study identifies early aging-related changes in muscle MERC ultrastructure and proteome, which are reversed by exercise, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for sarcopenia.
