Great Editorial from @NicoPillon summarizing our recent and past manuscripts. Cool figures! "Mitochondrial response to inactivity‐induced muscle disuse and exercise training." Much deserved @ChantalPileggi link.springer.com/article/10…

LAST CALL! I am still looking for a PhD candidate to join my lab this winter. If you are interested in pursuing a PhD in muscle biology, contact me at my email >>>> oakland.edu/biology/director… Send me your CV along your research interests. #myotwitter #newPI #AcademicChatter

I'll be recruiting a PhD and a Masters students for next winter semester in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences program at @oaklandu @OaklandBiology. If you are interested in basic muscle biology & ribosomes, consider reaching out to me (DM/email). Please RT #myotwitter

Another great paper using #ribosomeprofiling The authors investigated mRNA translation in later differentiating cortical neurons (using NPCs) and found they rely heavily on translation regulation to modulate genes/pathways needed for neuronal maturation link.springer.com/article/10…
