Isolation of functional lysosomes from skeletal muscle

This paper describes a method to isolate functional lysosomes from mouse skeletal muscle tissue, preserving their structure and function, and demonstrates reduced lysosomal activity in aging muscle.

Effect of aging, endurance training, and denervation on innate immune signaling in skeletal muscle

This study examines how aging, endurance training, and denervation affect immune signaling and mitochondrial function in skeletal muscle, finding that training reduces age-related inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Cell cycle regulation of mitochondrial protein import revealed by genome-scale pooled bimolecular fluorescence complementation screening

The paper introduces MaGiCaL-BiFC, a method to identify protein-protein interactions in mammalian cells, and uses it to find novel interactions involving TOMM22, including a mitosis-specific interaction with CK2.
