Inactivity-induced NR4A3 downregulation in human skeletal muscle affects glucose metabolism and translation: insights from in vitro analysis Physical activity promotes health, whereas inactivity is associated with metabolic impairment. The transcription factor nuclear receptor subfamily 4 g…

Our latest study connects reduced NR4A3 expression with physical inactivity and indicates that NR4A3 downregulation in human muscle has adverse effects on glucose metabolism and protein synthesis.

Congrats to Jon Smith Brendan Gabriel Nico Pillon & team!

Inflammatory markers and blood glucose are higher after morning vs afternoon exercise in type 2 diabetes - Diabetologia Aims/hypothesis The aim of this study was to investigate effects of time of day on glucose management in individuals with type 2 diabetes undertaking high-intensity interval exercise. Additionally, th...

Our latest!
Great team effort! We found that in men & women with type 2 diabetes, afternoon high-intensity interval exercise appears to be more effective than morning high-intensity interval exercise for maintaining glucose management. @diabetologiajnl.bsky.social

Postdocs and PhD students hit hard by Trump’s crackdown on science As US federal grants remain frozen and budget cuts loom, anxiety and fear grip early-career researchers.

Postdocs/PhD students hit hard!
“Disruption & uncertainty are the enemy of science,” says Donna Ginther, an economist at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. And when disruption & uncertainty strike, she adds, “the people who lose their jobs are students & postdocs”
