We sincerely welcome Prof. Dr. Stylianos P. Scordilis from Smith College, Northampton, United States, to join the Editorial Board of Advances in Cells. Scordilis’ research interests are in molecular physiology, myogenesis and sexual dimorphism of skeletal muscle. Ordered, regulated movement is one of the distinguishing characteristics of life. In Scordilis’ lab, students attempt to discover how contractility is maintained following repairable muscle damage. Muscle cells are remarkably adaptable; they can atrophy, hypertrophy, remodel depending on environmental stimuli and repair following a damaging event. All of these adaptations involve stress proteins, enzyme signaling cascades and steroid receptors. We appreciate Prof. Dr. Stylianos P. Scordilis for his participation and support.
