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

A wonderful team effort to characterize the actions of HSD17B2, a gene that helps some #ruff males to dial down their testosterone levels, got published @science.org (1/n)
A single gene underlies male mating morphs in ruff sandpipers, a new Science study finds. The results show how evolutionary changes in a single gene's structure, sequence, and regulation can drive significant diversity within a single species.

How to get rid of too much testosterone? A new study in @science.org by @chorlnev.bsky.social and @jasmineloveland.bsky.social found a single gene in ruffs that down-regulates testosterone directly in their blood.

A Clever Strategy for Getting Rid of Testosterone
We normally associate high testosterone levels with male dominance and aggression. Among ruffs – a shore bird that breeds across Europe and Asia – some males suffer from too much of it. Together with ...

Thanks all for joining the launch of the @dfg.de funded FOR5795 HyperMet. Effects of skeletal muscle hypertrophy and atrophy on metabolic health! We started with resistance training and had talks to introduce HyperMet and advanced metabolic research.
