Dr. Junaith S. Mohamed is an assistant professor at the Laboratory of Muscle and Nerve, Department of Diagnostic and Health Sciences, College of Health Professions, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, USA. He completed his post-doctoral training at the University of Texas at Austin and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX, USA. Dr. Mohamed’s research centers on understanding the cellular signaling mechanisms that affect skeletal muscle growth, function, regeneration, and metabolism under various disease and disorder conditions. His recent discoveries highlight the significant role of the Sirtuin-1 protein in mitigating stroke-associated muscle atrophy and weakness by restoring autophagy and ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal pathways.
