Pretty cool and surprising findings on different myonuclear populations and mononuclear cell behavior, e.g. in multicellular crosstalk using fixed tissue sequencing, minimizing cell activation by enzymatic digestion. Work led by @sedatdilbaz.bsky.social @biozentrum.unibas.ch @unibas.ch.

If so, you might want to read our new preprint on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! We repeated this experiment (acute exercise in untrained and trained mice, analyzed at different time points, comparison of untrained and trained at rest) on the single nucleus level.

This and much more! This review is an extension of, and complementary to our previous commentary in NPJ Aging (doi.org/10.1038/s415...), and the discussion in our review in the Journal of Physiology @physoc.bsky.social (doi.org/10.1113/jp28...).

Biomarkers of aging: functional aspects still trump molecular parameters - npj Aging
Biomarkers of aging are indispensable for testing interventions. While promising, the recent focus on molecular aspects should not detract from the functional parameters for which excellent correlatio...

8.) Our current health care setting fails to prioritize such measures. What could be done to improve the situation? On the level of the individual person, health care professionals, health insurance providers, society and politics. How could we pay for this?

7.) In contrast for physiological, functional and anthropometric biomarkers, solid and broad human data exist! E.g. #VO2max, body composition (muscle and #fat mass/distribution), #muscle force and power, activity levels, gait speed and other frailty markers.
