Persistent hyperactivity of the Hippo effector YAP in activated satellite cells is sufficient to cause embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) in mice. In humans, YAP is abundant and nuclear in the majority of ERMS cases, and high YAP expression is associated with poor survival. However, YAP1 is rarely… [read more]

Higher levels of physical activity are associated with a lower risk of developing cancer and exercise interventions in cancer patients have several beneficial effects including potential anti-cancer effects. The mechanisms by which physical activity or exercise prevents cancer or influences an… [read more]

One of the most striking adaptations to exercise is the skeletal muscle hypertrophy that occurs in response to resistance exercise. A large body of work shows that a mTORC1-mediated increase of muscle protein synthesis is the key, but not sole. Whilst much of the hypertrophy signaling cascade has… [read more]

Nearly 100 years ago Otto Warburg discovered that cancer cell change their metabolism. Today we know that this serves to provide metabolites as substrates for anabolic reaction in fast growing cancer cells. In our preliminary data we noted that a similar metabolic remodelling occurs during… [read more]
