The Altmetric score for Kent’s myofibril imaging paper reached the top 1% for pre-publications of similar age in bioRxiv. Way to go Kent!!!
I’m very excited to share our new method for the imaging and automated analysis of myofibrils (FIM-ID). With the use of common lab equipment and open-source software, we discovered that mechanically induced hypertrophy is largely mediated by myofibrillogenesis #myotwitter #muscle https://t.co/mGlMVvAHSF pic.twitter.com/06Tv5yWkZ2

Congrats to Nate on getting the primary paper from his dissertation published in iScience.
Congrats to @HornbergerLab & colleagues for their new @iScience_CP paper: A Novel Method for Visualizing In-Vivo Rates of Protein Degradation Provides Insight into how TRIM28 Regulates Muscle Size. https://t.co/zwNK6wcxyq

Identifying the Structural Adaptations that Drive the Mechanically Induced Growth of Skeletal Muscle. This was the hardest grant I've ever fought for. Incredibly grateful to everyone that believed in this project. We won't let you down!!! Brief overview 👇https://t.co/xWXYuwdmOd pic.twitter.com/8S3bbUItig

Jamie Hibbert in the @HornbergerLab snapped this photo of tissue of a damaged muscle in the leg of a mouse – and it won a spot as one of the 12 coolest science images out of @UWMadison this year 😎📷https://t.co/piJVQ2Tv34 pic.twitter.com/6kHlSFgzNa

Congratulations to Wen for winning second place in Cells best paper of the year contest. With part of his cash prize, he bought everyone some pizza to say thanks for their help.

We are looking to hire a new post doc and the search has been getting some great support from our colleagues at #myotwitter.
Extraordinary scientist, continually at the forefront of the field! If you are passionate about the #molecular mechanisms regulating #skeletalmuscle mass, this is absolutely the opportunity you want!! #myotwitter https://t.co/rHQCHCuBWM

The video abstract that describes Wen’s mouse model of progressive resistance exercise gets over 7000 views within the first 3 days of its release. The manuscript also set a lab record for the fastest time from submission to publication timeline (accepted for publication 8 days after submission). Everyone in the lab was an author on the paper. Congrats to all!!!
I'm very excited to share the 2.5 min long video abstract and preprint link to our manuscript that describes a highly translatable mouse model of progressive resistance exercise https://t.co/E0zhiMtLfo pic.twitter.com/SB43CK3INq

After 6 years worth of work we have finally published our characterization of the contraction-induced signaling events that are regulated upstream/parallel vs. downstream of mTOR. Congratulations to all of the authors on this body of research and a special shout out to Nate Steinert for his subsequent discovery of TRIM28 as a novel regulator of skeletal muscle size and function. The TRIM28 story has only just begun!!!!

Wenyuan Zhu’s proposal to deeply phenotype mice that have been subjected to his novel weight pulling model has been funded. Super excited to share the details of this mouse resistance exercise model with the greater community. I strongly believe that this will be viewed as the first mouse model that accurately mimics human resistance exercise and it induces the growth of numerous muscles throughout the body. Stay Tuned!!!!!
Congratulation to lab member @garacreen, who received a UW-Madison Comprehensive Diabetes Center Core Services Pilot Award! Congrats as well to the other awardees, including @timwrhoads @EnginLaboratory and @HornbergerLab!

Kent Jorgenson’s review paper https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4409/9/7/1658 was viewed over 4300 times, downloaded nearly 1200 times and obtained an Altmetric Score of 99 within the first 2 weeks of publication. Way to go Kent!!!

Congratulations to the two newest undergraduates in the lab (Philip Flejsierowicz, left) and (Jake Lemens, right). Both put a ton of work into their projects. After presenting their posters last night they could finally smile with a sense of relief. pic.twitter.com/17C7AUODNo

Just wanted to say congratulations to Nate Steinert for winning the Best Poster Award at the 15th Annual UW Signal Transduction Symposium. Nate is a 3rd year PhD student in the lab and is working on an exciting project that emerged from our initial work in phosphoproteomics. pic.twitter.com/I5nhYridpF

We just received a great score on a revised R01 application. The current funding situation for the lab is looking fantastic, and we will likely be looking to add 2-3 new members during the next year or so. Contact Troy is your interested (troy.hornberger@wisc.edu).
Big thanks to the students in the lab (@kentjorgenson_, @KuanHungLin4 and Nate Steinert) as well as Chris McGlory and @mackinprof for their help with the revision of recent R01. Pretty confident that this will get funded and we will be looking for a new post doc if it does. pic.twitter.com/OhX0h5wzpU

Parker won $500 for his poster and then used some of it to buy pizza for our lab meeting. Glass nickel pizza rules 🙂
I wanted to congratulate my second year Ph.D. student (Kuan-Hung Lin, aka Parker)) for winning the UW SVM Phi Zeta Research Day best graduate student poster. Way to go Parker!!! pic.twitter.com/DcHVgkfOkL

Our new paper “The role of raptor in the mechanical load-induced regulation of mTOR signaling, protein synthesis, and skeletal muscle hypertrophy”, gets a lot of attention on Twitter
https://t.co/Y2nfKEqKu8 Here we show that the knockout of mTORC1 eliminates mechanical overload-induced hypertrophy, but not the increase in protein synthesis. So what happens to all of the newly synthesized proteins, and why do they not contribute to a hypertrophic response?
