A study led by the Neuroimaging of Aging and Neurodegenerative Diseases research group at the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau) analyzed these abnormalities using a diffusion magnetic resonance imaging metric known as PSMD – short for peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity – which can detect microscopic changes in white matter tracts that may…

Resistance exercise (RE) improves strength and muscle mass, with multiple benefits for human health. However, intense RE also induces acute myofibrillar damage. The molecular mechanisms that preserve, mark, degrade, and restore damaged proteins to keep skeletal muscle working under RE are incompletely understood. Based on repeated sampling of human skeletal muscle, we show here that…
