Elite strength and physique athletes differ in sport-specific muscle size and power. In these athletes, the muscle size contributes to muscle strength. Finally, females have better strength endurance than males, independent of the training background. tinyurl.com/39dfz977

Our study led by @riikka-k.bsky.social demonstrate benefits of the combined gene delivery of Pro-MSTN and VEGF-B on muscle growth & body comp. The scRNAseq results suggest various cell types & their crosstalk in muscle growth.

Great study by the Hornberger et al. in Nature metabolism (doi.org/10.1038/s422...)! They identify MKK3b-p38 MAPK-pathway mediating muscle growth. Reminds me of our study in 2012 were MAPK´s gamma isoform of p38 was phosphorylated more after 5x10 reps vs. 15x1 reps. tinyurl.com/279mma3w

Happy that our article is Editor´s choice in the May issue of 2025 in @jphysiol.bsky.social.

Happy about the huge attention of this article. Our results suggest that trainees should not be too concerned about occasional short-term training breaks in their daily lives when it comes to lifelong strength training.

Excited to share this! We found that muscles "remember" at the proteome level that they have been training. We also report quite reproducible proteome response to resistance training.
