Skeletal muscle: a significant novel neurohypophyseal hormone-secreting organ [PDF]
Vasopressin (arg8-vasopressin) and oxytocin are closely relalated hormones, synthesized as pre-hormones in the magnocellular neurons of the paraventricular Q6 and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus.

Effects of Serum Deprivation on Expression of Proteolytic-Related Genes in Chick Myotube Cultures [PDF]
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.

Phosphorylation of Subunit Proteins of Intermediate Filaments from Chicken Muscle and Nonmuscle Cells [PDF]
The phosphorylation of the subunit proteins of intermediate (10-nm) filaments has been investigated in chicken muscle and nonmuscle cells by using a two-dimensional gel electrophoresis system. Desmin, the 50,000-dalton subunit protein of the intermediate

Targeting PKCθ promotes satellite cell self-renewal [PDF]
Skeletal muscle regeneration following injury depends on the ability of satellite cells (SCs) to proliferate, self-renew, and eventually differentiate. The factors that regulate the process of self-renewal are poorly understood. In this study we examined

A 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.

A Poglut1 mutation causes a muscular dystrophy with reduced Notch signaling and satellite cell loss [PDF]
Skeletal muscle regeneration by muscle satellite cells is a physiological mechanism activated upon muscle damage and regulated by Notch signaling. In a family with autosomal recessive limbgirdle muscular dystrophy, we identified a missense mutation in ...

Abstract Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a family of phenotypically myogenic paediatric cancers consisting of two major subtypes: fusion‐positive (FP) RMS, most commonly involving the PAX3::FOXO1 fusion gene, formed by the fusion of paired box 3 (PAX3) and forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) genes, and fusion‐negative (FN) RMS, lacking these gene fusions. In humans, DNA

Isolation and characterization of a laminin-binding protein from rat and chick muscle. [PDF]
A major laminin-binding protein (LBP), distinct from previously described LBPs, has been isolated from chick and rat skeletal muscle (Mr 56,000 and 66,000, respectively).

Neural Activity Affects Distribution of Glutamate Receptors during Neuromuscular Junction Formation inDrosophilaEmbryos [PDF]
Changes in the distribution and density of transmitter receptors in the postsynaptic cell are required steps for functional synapse formation. We raised antibodies againstDrosophilaglutamate receptors (DGluR-II) and visualized the distribution of ...
