In 2025, we reviewed a new lab record number of 117 manuscripts. If I was to charge 250 EUR per hour and would invest 2 h of work for every review this would make 58500 EUR @springernature.com @elsevierconnect.bsky.social @embopress.org & Co. owe me and my junior co-reviewers... Happy Sunday!

So, what have we learned about #SkeletalMuscle? While cytoskeletal organization is very similar, there are marked differences in the use of FoxO signaling and amino acid metabolism. Cell models reflect most but not all signatures of tissue myocytes, so important which one to choose #MyoBlue.

Every time I allow myself a Dunkin’ Donuts I’m immediately warped back in time, back to being a postdoc in the US - those were good times and I miss them 🇺🇸. Much has changed.
