One of the reasons I enjoy morning walks in my Gainesville neighborhood. Moms, a dad, young ones and the piebald.

Cancer induced FoxP1 expression in muscle reprograms muscle clock output. Why does this matter? By co-opting normal clock output, FoxP1 is disrupting homeostatic pathways important for muscle health. We posit that this clock disruption could be a factor contributing to cachectic outcomes.

Its taken a few years but finally had science fun collaborating with @andyjudge24.bsky.social, @sarahjudge.bsky.social and the talented postdoc @jbducharme.bsky.social with support from Miguel Gutierrez-Monreal. Cancer and the muscle clock. 1/ www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Cancer-induced FOXP1 disrupts and reprograms skeletal-muscle circadian transcription in cachexia

Ducharme et al. investigate the impact and crosstalk between cancer and FoxP1 on the skeletal-muscle circadian transcriptome that mediates time-of-day-dependent biological functions. They reveal cance...

Well, some of us might think those cells hanging around - terminally differentiated ones like muscle fibers and neurons- provide a significant amount of continued identity.

It’s Gainesville muscle meeting week. Weather report. Sunny and 70s. A bit chilly in the mornings. Always a great week of science, seeing old friends and making new ones.
