Why do muscle fibres shrink with age? Not because myofibrils get smaller — because there are fewer of them. We followed this from whole-muscle down to individual myofibrils, in humans and mice, across ageing and disuse. Tweetorial below Open Access here: physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.c…
1/ Why do muscles atrophy with aging and disuse? Is it because each tiny little myofibril gets smaller… or is it because we lose myofibrils? In our new study, we addressed this in humans and mice. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… Full breakdown of the findings in this thread 👇

Thank you to @JPhysiol for inviting me to present our Editor’s Choice paper! I had the pleasure of presenting, but this was a team effort - thank you @UACachexia @PJKoopmansPhD @KevinMurachPhD and all our collaborators. Exercise may be a powerful tool against cancer cachexia.
Stavroula Tsitkanou (@BIDMChealth) explains her recent findings that #exercise may help protect against cancer-related muscle wasting and could even slow tumour growth 💡🔬 Watch the #PhysiologyShort here!👇️ buff.ly/V0VSMvJ Read the paper🎓️ buff.ly/LEJcnTe

🎉 Congratulations to Georgia S Clarke, winner of @JPhysiol's Early Investigator Inter-organ Prize. Her study finds that pregnancy and a high-fat, high-sugar diet each blunt the stomach nerves that signal fullness, with no extra effect when combined. 🔗 bit.ly/3RIXjXF
