Oxidative stress‐induced changes in wooden breast and mitigation strategies: A review
Abstract Wooden breast (WB) is a multifactorial muscular abnormality resulting from the interplay between genetic predispositions for rapid growth, physiological stress, and anatomical impairments. This myopathy has been a persistent challenge in the poultry industry since its initial identification a decade ago.

Abstract Contributions made by the dystrophin‐associated glycoprotein complex (DGC) to cell–cell and cell‐extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions are vital in development, homeostasis and pathobiology. This review explores how DGC functions may extend to skeletal pathophysiology by appraising the known roles of its major ECM ligands, and likely ...

Purification and characterization of a polypeptide from chick brain that promotes the accumulation of acetylcholine receptors in chick myotubes. [PDF]
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

ABSTRACT Background Regenerative capacity of skeletal muscles decreases with age. Deficiency in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is associated with skeletal muscle weakness as well as epithelial cell senescence. However, whether and how CFTR plays a role in skeletal muscle regeneration and aging were unclear.

A novel hydrogel‐based bioengineered scaffold with a porous and flexible ultrastructure is fabricated via in situ crosslinking of sericin and keratin. In chorioallantoic membrane analysis, the bioengineered scaffold not only shows angiogenic potential but also promotes the biological behavior of C2C12 muscle cells. These results highlight the potential

ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle regeneration is a complex process that requires coordinated interactions between myogenic and vascular cells. Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4), a cell surface proteoglycan, had been shown to be expressed around immature myofibers in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, suggesting its role in muscle regeneration.

Calmodulin and acetylcholine receptor clustering in embryonic chick myotubes.
We have used the calmodulin antagonists, trifluoperazine (TFP) and calmidazolium, to study the potential role of this protein in the movement of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) to and from the myotube membrane, as well as in the formation of clusters of AChRs within the plasma membrane.

Human Muscle‐Derived Vascular Stem Cells Can Support Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cells In Vitro
Background: The normal hematopoiesis of the body depends on the interaction between hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that support the growth and development of hematopoietic cells. However, the separation of MSCs from bone marrow is somewhat limited, and the researchers have turned their attention to stromal

Endogenous mammalian lectin localized extracellularly in lung elastic fibers. [PDF]
An affinity-purified antibody preparation raised against a beta-galactoside-binding lectin from bovine lung was used to localize a similar lectin in rat lung by immunofluorescence and by electron microscopy after on-grid staining visualized with ...

A Glance into the Near Future: Cultivated Meat from Mammalian and Insect Cells
Growing demand for meat and environmental concerns are driving the search for sustainable alternatives for meat production. Cultured meat from animal stem cells, particularly insect stem cells, is emerging as an efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly option.
