Join Patrick Schönleitner, PhD and Francisco Altamirano, PhD as they share their work involving simultaneous measurements of intracellular calcium, membrane voltage, and contractility of cardiomyocytes.

Join Dr. Rizwan Qaisar and Matt Borkowski for a deep dive into the experimental protocols used for measuring muscle function and mechanics for in vivo and in vitro research.

Dr. Charlotte Peterson and Dr. Jack Guralnik will discuss the challenges of sarcopenia. They will define the disease and provide an in depth overview of the underlying mechanisms of pathology. They will then share some potential therapeutic interventions and disease outcomes for patients.

Science of Aging – A Physiological & Translational Perspective: A webinar series covering fundamentals, late-breaking research and novel discoveries in the field of aging science.

Julio Ayala, PhD and Matthew Robinson, PhD share their research focusing on feeding behavior in mice and the effects of stress and exercise on metabolism. They will discuss neuronal activity and high-fat diets as well as mitochondrial remodeling and exercise training in mouse models of obesity.

Zhen Yan and Diego Bohórquez present case studies demonstrating the use of automated home cage phenotyping for preclinical obesity research.

A detailed and ready-to-use protocol on the design and manufacturing of diaphragm clamps, and how to mount them to a muscle force measurement system.

Experts present key considerations in the design of rigorous preclinical studies in rodent models of muscular dystrophy, including animal model selection, assays and endpoints, and how your results can inform translation to the clinic.

Watch this webinar to learn how VO2 Max exercise testing can be used to assess the cardiometabolic phenotype of rodents.

Suzie Buono discusses the work she and her team have done to provide an example of treating a dominant disease by targeting both alleles, suggesting that this strategy may be applied to other dominant diseases.

Experts discuss the A-to-Z of assessing muscle performance and contractile function in single muscle fibers.

Jordan Fuqua discusses how autophagy and proteolytic processes are regulated in skeletal muscle, specifically looking at ULK1 and ULK2 and their roles in maintaining skeletal muscle homeostasis, morphology, protein aggregate degradation and autophagy.
