Excited to share our preprint using time-resolved small-angle X-ray diffraction to study myosin motor conformations during isometric twitch and tetanus contractions in the slow-twitch rat soleus skeletal muscle #myoblue

Some really kind words and interesting perspectives from @hesselanthony.bsky.social on our paper published in @pnas.org. (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...). Anthony sheds some light on why there are exciting times ahead for the muscle X-ray diffraction community!

The final piece of the puzzle for my PhD thesis, currently under review. We looked at the trajectory of age-related serial sarcomere loss across young (8 mo), middle-aged (20 mo), old (32 mo), and very old rats (36 mo) in 5 different muscles. A simple study but it provided a lot of cool insight!

This has been a long time in the making but I am absolutely delighted to share our latest paper published in @pnas.org where we use time-resolved X-ray diffraction to elucidate the regulatory roles of the thick and thin filaments during muscle relaxation #myoblue www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

First foray into Bluesky. Lets kick things off by sharing our latest paper recently published in @jphysiol.bsky.social from the Brunello lab at King's College London where we used time-resolved X-ray diffraction to study load-dependence for the activation of myosin motors in cardiac muscle
