Performance fatigability on a constant-load dynamic task is greater in females with moderate-severity Parkinson’s disease than healthy-aging controls Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with self-reported fatigue. While fatigue is a disabling symptom, performance fati…

A big collaborative effort on this one & more in the pipeline!

‘I really wanted something to happen.’ The students behind the Stand Up for Science protests New group hopes to turn out researchers for 7 March demonstrations against Trump administration policies

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals.

So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD

graphical abstract of review article findings.

Few studies measure body composition in patients with lung cancer over time; 32 to be exact. I reviewed their findings. Pro: we know muscle loss occurs and intramuscular fat increases. Cons: we know very little about women and changes in fat journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Full house for Dr. Tom Hawke's presentation (McMaster University) on muscle stem cells in type 1 diabetes and separate research in cultivated meat! Thanks, Tom, for the engaging and exciting presentation! Also, thanks for visiting the Muscle Health Research Centre here at York University.

Research out of York University has made history as the first to document that muscle weakness precedes muscle wasting in cancer – a groundbreaking discovery that presents new possibilities for early detection and treatment of the disease.

Section through the 3D cryoET map of V-ATPase embedded in synaptic vesicle membrane at 17 Å resolution, as published in PNAS recently.

Oh my. This is just gorgeous from Misha Kudryashev's lab (I don't think he's here yet?). Love to see it. V ATPase resolved directly in synaptic vesicles 🤤 Lots of other neat observations in there also. Congrats to all involved! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
