Studying muscle in the Ozark mountains - M3R Lab. Bourbon aficionado. Amateur watch builder. Average exerciser. My wife says I’m a “six wing five”. https://musclemasslab.uark.edu/

So proud of the first PhD student from the lab Dr. Ron Jones. Don’t know what we will do without him around. He’s off to bigger and better things though. Also, note the rainbow (over the blue dinosaur) in the background. Poetic. #myoblue

💪🧠Thrilled to be awarded this grant to study how exercise supports the motoneurone-muscle interaction during ageing - with awesome collaborators @kevinmurachphd.bsky.social and Kristine Freude @ismcopenhagen.bsky.social 🙏@lundbeckfonden.bsky.social lundbeckfonden.com/en/exercise-...

Exercise to maintain and repair the ageing motoneurone-muscle axis

Has received a Professorship grant of DKK 20,000,000 from the Lundbeck Foundation.

Upcoming Postdoc Position! With Chris Nelson’s lab at U of A, we are looking for a fully supported 2-year postdoc to work on muscle gene editing and detection of gene doping in vivo. If interested, email myself and Chris: kmurach@uark.edu and nelsonc@uark.edu #myoblue

Prioritizing skeletal muscle health for successful aging “The beneficial effects of exercise on skeletal muscle cannot be overstated, and the impact of healthy skeletal muscle on successful aging should not be underestimated.” www.openaccessgovernment.org/article/prio...

Biomarkers of aging: from molecules and surrogates to physiology and function | Physiological Reviews | American Physiological Society

Many countries face an unprecedented challenge in aging demographics. This has led to an exponential growth in research of aging, which, coupled to a massive financial influx of funding in the private and public sectors, has resulted in seminal insights into the underpinnings of this biological process. However, critical validation in humans have been hampered by the limited translatability of results obtained in model organisms, additionally confined by the need for extremely time-consuming clinical studies in the ostensible absence of robust biomarkers that would allow monitoring in shorter time frames. In the future, molecular parameters might hold great promise in this regard. In contrast, biomarkers centered on function, resilience and frailty are available at the present time, with proven predictive value for morbidity and mortality. In this review, the current knowledge of molecular and physiological aspects of human aging, potential anti-aging strategies, and the basis, evidence, and potential application of physiological biomarkers in human aging are discussed.
