Dual-filament regulation of relaxation in mammalian fast skeletal muscle | PNAS
Muscle contraction is driven by myosin motors from the thick filaments pulling on
the actin-containing thin filaments of the sarcomere, and it is r...

This has been a long time in the making but I am absolutely delighted to share our latest paper published in
@pnas.org where we use time-resolved X-ray diffraction to elucidate the regulatory roles of the thick and thin filaments during muscle relaxation #myoblue

Some really kind words and interesting perspectives from @hesselanthony.bsky.social on our paper published in @pnas.org. (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...). Anthony sheds some light on why there are exciting times ahead for the muscle X-ray diffraction community!

The final piece of the puzzle for my PhD thesis, currently under review.
We looked at the trajectory of age-related serial sarcomere loss across young (8 mo), middle-aged (20 mo), old (32 mo), and very old rats (36 mo) in 5 different muscles. A simple study but it provided a lot of cool insight!

We investigated serial sarcomere loss as a contributor to the age-related loss of muscle mass across four aging timepoints
SSN loss contributed to the loss of muscle mass. Increasing SSN is a target for improving muscle performance in old age. @hinksave.bsky.social
