Daniel Jacko

Daniel Jacko is a researcher at the Institute of Cardiology and Sports Medicine, German Sport University Cologne, specializing in molecular and cellular sports medicine. His work focuses on skeletal muscle metabolism, exercise-induced biochemical changes, and protein regulation under mechanical stress.

• Key Research Areas: Resistance training, desmin phosphorylation, lactate dynamics, microRNA signaling, and metabolic flexibility.

Recent Publications highlight his contributions to understanding:

• MicroRNA-1's role in muscle pyruvate metabolism
• Exercise intensity effects on AHR activation in immune cells
• Desmin phosphorylation mechanisms in muscle integrity
• Lactate accumulation under varying nutritional conditions

Projects include university-funded studies on desmin post-translational modifications, metabolic protection via resistance training, and lactate threshold dynamics. Collaborations span institutions like the German Research Centre of Elite Sport and researchers such as Sebastian Gehlert and Wilhelm Bloch.
