Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Calvin S. Peterson's research investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle adaptations to exercise and disease, particularly in the context of cancer cachexia. His work examines how interventions like exercise training can mitigate muscle wasting associated with tumor growth in both male and female mice. Peterson has explored the role of mitochondrial dynamics, specifically promoting mitochondrial fusion as a protective strategy against cancer-induced muscle detriments. He has also investigated the global inhibition of mitophagy via BNIP3 ablation and its effects on skeletal muscle impairments in tumor-bearing mice. His publications indicate a focus on the time course of molecular responses to exercise in human skeletal muscle, implicating MYC as a regulator of muscle growth. Peterson collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Pieter J. Koopmans, Francielly Morena da Silva, Sabin Khadgi, and Nicholas P. Greene.
