Enhancing Form Stability: Shrink-Resistant Hydrogels Made of Interpenetrating Networks of Recombinant Spider Silk and Collagen-I. [PDF]
Adv Healthc MaterA shrinkage‐resistant hydrogel is developed to confer post‐fabrication shape fidelity. The hydrogel, based on recombinant spider silk protein eADF4(C16)‐RGD and collagen‐I, exhibits tunable mechanical properties and shrink‐resistance in the presence of fibroblasts as well as muscle cells.

The Role of Embryonic Chick Muscle Cell Culture in the Study of Skeletal Myogenesis
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 The mechanisms involved in the development of skeletal muscle fibers have been studied in the last 70 years and yet many aspects of this process are still not completely understood.

Myotube heterogeneity in developing chick craniofacial skeletal muscles [PDF]
Developmental Dynamics, 1999 Avian skeletal muscles consist of myotubes that can be categorized according to contraction and fatigue properties, which are based largely on the types of myosins and metabolic enzymes present in the cells. Most mature muscles in the head are mixed, but they display a variety of ratios and distributions of fast and slow muscle cells.

Cysteine Suppresses Oxidative Stress-Induced Myofibrillar Proteolysis in Chick Myotubes [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2004 The effects of cysteine as an antioxidant nutrient on change in protein modification and myofibrillar proteolysis in chick myotubes by induction of oxidative stress by H(2)O(2) treatment were investigated. Myotubes were treated for 1 h with H(2)O(2) (1 mM).

Transport and Secretion of the Wnt3 Ligand by Motor Neuron-like Cells and Developing Motor Neurons
Biomolecules, 2021 The vertebrate neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is formed by a presynaptic motor nerve terminal and a postsynaptic muscle specialization. Cumulative evidence reveals that Wnt ligands secreted by the nerve terminal control crucial steps of NMJ synaptogenesis.

Prdm1 (Blimp-1) and the Expression of Fast and Slow Myosin Heavy Chain Isoforms during Avian Myogenesis In Vitro [PDF]
, 2010 BACKGROUND. Multiple types of fast and slow skeletal muscle fibers form during early embryogenesis in vertebrates. In zebrafish, formation of the earliest slow myofibers in fin muscles requires expression of the zinc-finger transcriptional repressor ...

Regulation of Autophagy in Chick Skeletal Muscle: Effect of mTOR Inhibition
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2020 Autophagy in the skeletal muscle increases under catabolic conditions resulting in muscle atrophy. This study investigated the effect of inhibition of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) on autophagy in chick skeletal muscle.
