Ubaida-Mohien C, Moaddel R, Spendiff S, MacMillan N, Filion M, Morais J, et al.
Aging Cell . 2025 Mar; :e70002. PMID: 40059508
Physical function declines with aging, yet there is considerable heterogeneity, with some individuals declining very slowly while others experience accelerated functional decline. To gain insight into mechanisms promoting high physical...

Cell Rep Med . 2025 Feb; 6(2):101968. PMID: 39933528
Aging-related muscle atrophy and weakness contribute to loss of mobility, falls, and disability. Mitochondrial dysfunction is widely considered a key contributing mechanism to muscle aging. However, mounting evidence positions physical...

Deshayes T, Savoie F, Pancrate T, Jolicoeur Desroches A, Morais J, Bernier P, et al.
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2024 Dec; 138(1):238-249. PMID: 39657025
Understanding how hydration status influences pain perception is particularly important in older adults, as both dehydration and pain are prevalent in this population. Ten individuals (70 ± 4 yr) completed...

Mah J, Kanagalingam T, Best S, Elhayek S, Thain J, Morais J, et al.
Can Geriatr J . 2024 Dec; 27(4):485-499. PMID: 39619377
Background: There is a projected and growing gap of geriatricians in Canada. Geriatricians play a crucial role in addressing the health needs of older adults. We aimed to understand the...

Murphy J, Dera A, Morais J, Tsoukas M, Khor N, Sazonova T, et al.
Obesity (Silver Spring) . 2024 Jul; 32(8):1508-1517. PMID: 39045668
Objective: We aimed to examine the effect of age of obesity onset, sex, and their interaction on abdominal and femoral subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) morphology (degree of adipocyte hyperplasia or...

Dulac M, Hajj-Boutros G, Sonjak V, Faust A, Hussain S, Chevalier S, et al.
J Physiol . 2024 Jun; PMID: 38878232
Mitochondrial dysfunctions are thought to contribute to muscle atrophy and weakness that develop during ageing and mechanical unloading caused by immobilization, bed rest and microgravity. Older adults are at greater...

Hannaian S, Lov J, Cheng-Boivin Z, Abou Sawan S, Hodson N, Gentil B, et al.
Am J Physiol Cell Physiol . 2024 Apr; 326(6):C1769-C1775. PMID: 38682238
We recently demonstrated that acute oral ketone monoester intake induces a stimulation of postprandial myofibrillar protein synthesis rates comparable to that elicited following the ingestion of 10 g whey protein...

Exp Physiol . 2024 Feb; 109(5):812-827. PMID: 38372420
Weightlessness during spaceflight can harm various bodily systems, including bone density, muscle mass, strength and cognitive functions. Exercise appears to somewhat counteract these effects. A terrestrial model for this is...
