Muscat has contributed to several publications, including:

  • A tumour suppressive relationship between mineralocorticoid and retinoic acid receptors activates a transcriptional program consistent with a reverse Warburg effect in breast cancer (2020, Breast Cancer Research)
  • Decorin, an exercise-induced secretory protein, is associated with improved prognosis in breast cancer patients but does not mediate anti-tumorigenic tissue crosstalk in mice (2024, Journal of Sport and Health Science)
  • Core and Flanking bHLH-PAS:DNA interactions mediate specificity and drive obesity (2022, bioRxiv, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Frequent co-authors in their work include Marit Hjorth, Casey L. Egan, Guilherme Defante Telles, Martin Pál, and David Gallego-Ortega. These collaborations suggest a multidisciplinary approach and engagement with researchers specializing in related biomedical fields.
