The impact of endomysium integrity on skeletal muscle fiber bundle mechanics

Our results indicate that muscle contractility across the peri-menopausal transition into late-stage menopause is both muscle and phase-dependent, emphasizing the complexity of changing hormones throughout the lifespan on muscle contractile function

Investigating the temporal effects of ovarian failure on single muscle fibre contractility using a chemically-induced ovarian failure model in mice

How does menopause impact skeletal muscle?

Our latest collaboration with Paris Mashouri of @geoffpower.bsky.social's lab uses a unique mouse model of menopause to track postmenopausal changes in muscle performance.

The mechanical loading environment associated with eccentric exercise is one of the key stimuli to trigger sarcomerogenesis: It’s a stretch to say eccentric exercise does not promote serial sarcomerogenesis

2 really cool papers from the lab submitted this week:

1- Effect of muscle preactivation length on single muscle fibre stretch shortening cycle performance

2- Effects of eccentric overload training on serial sarcomerogenesis in male and female rats - spoiler: there were sex-dependent effects

Please repost! We have a second biomechanics faculty position!

This is an open rank clinical-track position in sports biomechanics at the University of Michigan. This is a largely teaching-focused position and we have outstanding resources to support teaching and student learning. #BiomechSky

😃 In a new article published in J Biomech, Bolsterlee et al showed that moment arms of the Achilles and tibialis anterior tendon scale linearly with tibia length in typically developing children aged 5 to 15 years.
