In January 2022, Rémi Mounier opened is own team at Institut NeuroMyoGène - Physiopathologie et Genétique du Neurone et du Muscle.

Cell- and non-cell- autonomous regulations of metabolism on muscle stem cell fate and skeletal muscle homeostasis
Mechanisms controlling muscle stem cell fate are not fully known and account for both autonomous and non-autonomous regulations. Our research highlighted intracellular crosstalk between metabolism and inflammation during muscle regeneration. Identifying whether metabolism regulates muscle stem cell fate in a cell autonomous and a non-autonomous way is of importance in the understanding of muscle homeostasis. In this context, we decipher the role of metabolism on muscle stem cells by investigating metabolic regulations of their fate, particularly the role of AMPK and the metabolic characteristics of muscle stem cells. The goal of our program is to determine the dynamic interactions between metabolism and muscle stem cell fate during muscle plasticity and return to homeostasis.
