Since 2008, my group has focused on the mechanobiology defects in muscular disorders. Our rationale is that whereas the primary function of skeletal muscle is to produce force and movement, mechanical forces in turn are critical to control muscle cell decisions and tissue homeostasis. We aim to explore how mechanical stress affects muscle mass and function in normal and pathological conditions.
