Paper of the month (August 2020) from Dr. Perry's research group

Hughes MC, Ramos SV, Turnbull PC, et al. Impairments in left ventricular mitochondrial bioenergetics precede overt cardiac dysfunction and remodelling in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. J Physiol. 2020;598(7):1377-1392. doi:10.1113/JP277306 Significance of the research: 98% of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) develop cardiomyopathy, with 40% developing heart failure. Using mice, the study by Hughes and Ramos […]

Paper of the Month (July 2020) from Dr. Cheng's research group

Cheng AJ, Jude B, Lanner JT. Intramuscular mechanisms of overtraining [published online ahead of print, 2020 Feb 26]. Redox Biol. 2020;101480. doi:10.1016/j.redox.2020.101480 Significance of the research: Our recently published review focuses on identifying the mechanisms of overtraining on skeletal muscle function. We examine several leading hypotheses previously proposed to explain skeletal muscle weakness in overtraining […]
