NIH wants to hear from you. No really.

Also be sure to read the instructions a Forms I SF424. These Fs will have the new format/review instructions so there are different components from the previous NOFOs.

If you're struggling to visualise mouse NMJs, we've got a protocol just for you!

Lovely work from Rebecca Simkin @uclqsion.bsky.social @nicolbirsa.bsky.social‬

Cancer induced FoxP1 expression in muscle reprograms muscle clock output. Why does this matter? By co-opting normal clock output, FoxP1 is disrupting homeostatic pathways important for muscle health. We posit that this clock disruption could be a factor contributing to cachectic outcomes.

Cancer-induced FOXP1 disrupts and reprograms skeletal-muscle circadian transcription in cachexia Ducharme et al. investigate the impact and crosstalk between cancer and FoxP1 on the skeletal-muscle circadian transcriptome that mediates time-of-day-dependent biological functions. They reveal cance...

Its taken a few years but finally had science fun collaborating with @andyjudge24.bsky.social, @sarahjudge.bsky.social and the talented postdoc @jbducharme.bsky.social with support from Miguel Gutierrez-Monreal. Cancer and the muscle clock. 1/ www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Sorry that is lousy

Congratulations!!!!

I am happy to see 5 of the Regents of University of Michigan write this piece in support of university independence.

Happy birthday

I’m looking for a new research assistant! Please share with recent (or soon to be) graduates! www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/41...

Great talk!

@dadapisconti.bsky.social presenting her work on neutrophil elastase in muscle regeneration. Great science presented along with good humor

Awwww, just hang out more at UF

Well, some of us might think those cells hanging around - terminally differentiated ones like muscle fibers and neurons- provide a significant amount of continued identity.

Nice morning at La Chua trail with my muscle and clocks friends before the meeting starts. Jake Chen, Clara Peek and Mattia Q. Lots of gators out sunning themselves

Looking to conduct research in molecular biology and genetics? Come join the Kardon lab! Looking for lab tech to help research the role of stem cells in muscle development and regeneration and determine the effects of viral infection on muscle. Funding independent of federal resources. Please share!

Wish you were here!

Studying metabolism? Pay attention to time of day Nice collaborative review led by Satchin Panda www.nature.com/articles/s42...

And like the MDA meeting we will miss our NIH colleagues. Hoping to see them back next time

It’s Gainesville muscle meeting week. Weather report. Sunny and 70s. A bit chilly in the mornings. Always a great week of science, seeing old friends and making new ones.

Science at Sundance 2025

Each year, scientists, including the @utah.edu's own @gabriellekardon.bsky.social @uuhsresearch.bsky.social and Mike Shapiro @uofubiology.bsky.social, review Sundance films through a scientific lens, revealing fascinating insights.

Published in @science.org -read on www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A quick look at the paper and it’s not clear if the mice were run in the light (rest phase) or dark (active phase)? If during the light, one might imagine the stress is higher than if run when the mice are normally active in the dark. It’s important to consider when - with exercise interventions

Thanks

Interesting study, nice work. Looking at Figure 3. Is sarcomere length different in the VL compared to soleus, gastrocnemius muscles?? Or could that reflect joint position at fixation??

NIH Grants Fueled $95 Billion In FY 2024 Economic Activity, Finds New Report National Institutes of Health grants generated almost $95 billion in economic activity nationwide in FY 2024 according to a new report by United for Medical Research.

Yet another report on the economic value of NIH investments The indiscriminate and large cuts are illogical and harmful I am angry www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

Always fun to work with @bethaschroder.bsky.social and @bpdelisle.bsky.social But honestly, should I really care about ion channels? 😂

Hahahahahahaha. Gracie is so special and talented
