The agrin gene codes for a family of basal lamina proteins that differ in function and distribution [PDF]
, 1992 We isolated two cDNAs that encode isoforms of agrin, the basal lamina protein that mediates the motor neuron-induced aggregation of acetylcholine receptors on muscle fibers at the neuromuscular junction.

Biphasic effect of pentobarbitone on chick myotube nicotinic receptor channel kinetics [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 1996 The modulatory action of pentobarbitone on chick myotube nicotinic acetylcholine receptor kinetics was studied by the patch clamp technique, particularly focussing on effects at low concentrations. Open time sojourn distributions of foetal‐type receptors recorded at room temperature (22–24°C) in cell‐attached mode in the presence of 0.2 μm ...

Effects of Serum Deprivation on Myofibrillar Proteolysis in Chick Myotube Cultures
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2003 We examined the effects of serum deprivation on myofibrillar proteolysis in chick myotubes. Myotubes were incubated with serum-free medium for 24 hours. N(tau)-methylhistidine release, as an index of myofibrillar proteolysis, as well as protease activities such as calpain, proteasome, and cathepsins (B+L and D) activities were increased by serum ...

The differentiation of chick embryonic myoblasts in primary culture [PDF]
, 1991 The differentiation of chick embryonic skeletal myoblasts results in the formation of myotubes which are the precursors of muscle fibres. The fusion of mononucleated myoblasts represents an apparent switching point in differentiation since it results in ...

Enhanced chemosensitivity of chick parasympathetic neurones in co‐culture with myotubes.
The Journal of Physiology, 1982 1. The influence of target interaction upon the electrophysiological properties of dissociated ciliary ganglion cells was investigated by testing the sensitivity of the neuronal somal membrane to ionophoretically applied acetylcholine (ACh). Variations in the percentage of cells responsive to the transmitter were measured with time in culture.

Purification and characterization of a polypeptide from chick brain that promotes the accumulation of acetylcholine receptors in chick myotubes. [PDF]
The Journal of cell biology, 1986 Acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) are packed in the postsynaptic membrane at neuromuscular junctions at a density of approximately 20,000/micron 2, whereas the density a few micrometers away is less than 20/micron 2. To understand how this remarkable distribution comes about during nerve-muscle synapse formation, we have attempted to isolate factors from

Effects of Serum Deprivation on Expression of Proteolytic-Related Genes in Chick Myotube Cultures [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2005 We previously reported that serum deprivation stimulates myofibrillar proteolysis in chick myotubes. In the present study, we examined the effect of serum deprivation on expression of the proteolytic-related genes (ubiquitin, proteasome, calpains, and cathepsin B) by real-time PCR of cDNA in chick myotubes.

The Space Within: How Architected Voids Promote Tissue Formation
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 7, 2 February 2026.This review explores the role of void spaces in tissue engineering scaffolds and examines four key methods for introducing porosity into hydrogels at different scales. It discusses sacrificial templating, microgels, phase separation, and 3D printing, highlighting principles, advantages, and limitations. It also addresses emerging strategies integrating
