Kristian Vissing is an associate professor of sport science at Aarhus University in Denmark. His university page lists two main interests: the regulatory mechanisms that keep protein balance in skeletal muscle, and how muscle activity might send signals that protect distant organs.
The 2026 paper in Experimental Gerontology in the Atlas asks how ageing changes the way muscle responds to being stretched passively. The abstract-level finding in the Atlas is that mTORC1 signalling was preserved with age, while the JNK-SMAD2L signalling was less sensitive.
Vissing is the last author of this four-author study, which fits his research line on how muscle controls its own growth and breakdown.
