Publication Alert - Our latest study identifies sex- and fibre type-specific responses to resistance training and implicates CSRP3 in muscle hypertrophy. doi.org/10.1038/s414...
Sex- and fiber type-specific remodeling of the muscle proteome implicates CSRP3 in resistance training-induced hypertrophy - Nature Communications
Here, the authors show that changes in the muscle fiber proteome following 8 weeks of resistance training are both sex- and fiber type-specific. This includes greater upregulation of CSRP3 in type II ...

A PTPN23-dependent #ESCRT pathway is essential for constitutive secretion in mammalian cells, say Danièle Stalder, Conceição Pereira, David C. Gershlick @dgershlick.bsky.social and colleagues @thecimr.bsky.social: rupress.org/jcb/article/... #Trafficking #Biochemistry #Golgi
For ~century, we’ve asked: why do proliferating cells ferment glucose even when O2 is around? I’m thrilled to share our latest work @natmetabolism.nature.com, led by @thebiokimist.bsky.social. By leveraging conditional essentiality in HPLM, we propose a provocative new answer to this classic Q. 🧵
🚨 pleased to share a new preprint made possible through a fantastic collaboration with the Skala & Palecek labs! can medium composition impact the behavior of hPSC-derived cardiomyocytes? Andy & Aaron co-led efforts to tackle this question w/HPLM! tinyurl.com/ux2arjw8
Human Plasma-Like Medium Promotes Maturation of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes
Maturing human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) in vitro is critical for advancing drug discovery and cardiotoxicity screening applications of these cells. However, the metaboli...

I'm delighted to be hosting the Cambridge University Endocrinology Society's annual conference this Friday, entitled: 'From Bench to Bedside (and back again)'. We're really fortunate to have such an exciting line up of speakers, integrating across a wide range of career stages and fields.
Online now: Seeing the world through the eyes of cultured cells
Seeing the world through the eyes of cultured cells
The metabolic environment experienced by cultured cells often differs from physiological conditions. Here, we highlight the effects that the microenvironment can have on cultured cell behavior and advocate for researchers to re-evaluate culture practices…

excited to share a new preprint from our lab! led by the outstanding (& newly minted PhD) @thebiokimist.bsky.social we first uncover a basis for conditional HK2 essentiality in HPLM - leveraging this dependence then leads us to distinct rationale underlying why the Warburg Effect is beneficial!
Hexokinase detachment from mitochondria drives the Warburg effect to support compartmentalized ATP production https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.07.637120v1
