- New Book Released – Molecular Exercise Physiology: An Introduction (Second Edition) - Book Description Fully revised and expanded, the second edition of Molecular Exercise Physiology offers a student-friendly introduction. It introduces a history documenting the emergence of molecular biology techniques to investigate exercise physiology, the methodology used, exercise genetics and epigenetics, and the molecular mechanisms that lead to adaptation after different types of exercise, with explicit links to outcomes […]
- $1M grant for the Sharples Lab! Epigenetic muscle memory of wasting! - We have received a Research Council Norway (RCN) Grant for just under 9M NOK (1M USD)! Project title: Does human skeletal muscle possess an epigenetic memory of wasting? Targeting UBR5 as a therapy for muscle wasting with age. Primary and secondary objectives of the project: 1) We will discover if human skeletal muscle possesses an […]
