Happy to share that our single-cell analysis of muscle stem cells in two DMD models is now published in Cell Death & Disease. We hope this resource benefits researchers in neuromuscular disease and helps to support the development of stem cell targeted therapies for DMD.

I am excited to share our latest manuscript, now published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, which explores the short- and long-term effects of intein-mediated full-length dystrophin expression in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy jci.org/articles/view/…

Thrilled to share that the last paper of my postdoc is now out in nature ! We show how metabolic rewiring through OGDH drives tissue regeneration and stem cell fate. A wild and rewarding ride—huge thanks to Scott Millman, MD PhD and the Lowe Lab ! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Pharmaceutical companies like Eli Lilly and Company (w bimagrumab) explore ActRIIA/B inhibitors to combat muscle loss in cancer, aging, and weight-loss (e.g., Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy). Our new study shows quite complex metabolic effects of these inhibitors 😵‍💫 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
