Journal Article
Piasecki, M., Ireland, A., Coulson, J., Stashuk, D. W., Hamilton-Wright, A., Swiecicka, A., …Jones, D. A. (2016). Motor unit number estimates and neuromuscular transmission in the tibialis anterior of master athletes: evidence that athletic older people are not spared from age-related motor unit remodeling. Physiological Reports, 4(19), Article e12987. https://doi.org/10.14814/phy2.12987

Muscle motor unit numbers decrease markedly in old age, while remaining motor units are enlarged and can have reduced neuromuscular junction transmission stability. However, it is possible that regular intense physical activity throughout life can at...

A robust neuromuscular system protects rat and human skeletal muscle from sarcopenia (2016)
Journal Article
Pannérec, A., Springer, M., Migliavacca, E., Ireland, A., Piasecki, M., Karaz, S., …Feige, J. N. (2016). A robust neuromuscular system protects rat and human skeletal muscle from sarcopenia. Aging, 8(4), 712-728. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.100926

Declining muscle mass and function is one of the main drivers of loss of independence in the elderly. Sarcopenia is associated with numerous cellular and endocrine perturbations, and it remains challenging to identify those changes that play a causal...
