Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ronald G. Jones' research investigates molecular and physiological adaptations in skeletal muscle, with a particular focus on aging, exercise, and disease states like cancer cachexia. His work utilizes transcriptomic analysis to identify molecular signatures associated with these conditions. Recent publications explore how partial reprogramming and exercise impact skeletal muscle adaptation with aging, the distinct time courses of transcriptional disruptions in male and female skeletal muscle during cancer cachexia, and the role of MYC in regulating muscle growth following resistance exercise in humans. Jones has also examined neuromuscular dysfunction in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and the interplay between muscle weakness, mitochondrial stress, and metastasis in ovarian cancer cachexia models. His scholarship includes 58 publications with 913 citations and an h-index of 17. He collaborates extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Francielly Morena da Silva, Nicholas P. Greene, Kevin A. Murach, and Ana Regina Cabrera.
