Bioengineered Model of Human LGMD2B Skeletal Muscle Reveals Roles of Intracellular Calcium Overload in Contractile and Metabolic Dysfunction in Dysferlinopathy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 31, August 21, 2024.
In this study, a hiPSC‐derived 3D tissue‐engineered model of LGMD2B skeletal muscle is developed and applied to show that calcium handling abnormalities drive multiple contractile and metabolic deficits in dysferlinopathy. This human in vitro model replicates transcriptional signatures and drug responses of diseased muscles from patients and small ...

Clustering of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors: from the neuromuscular junction to interneuronal synapses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Fast and accurate synaptic transmission requires high-density accumulation of neurotransmitter receptors in the postsynaptic membrane. During development of the neuromuscular junction, clustering of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) is one of the first ...

Heparan Sulfate Chain‐Conjugated Laminin‐E8 Fragments Advance Paraxial Mesodermal Differentiation Followed by High Myogenic Induction from hiPSCs

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 26, July 10, 2024.
This study describes the new generation laminin fragments, a recombinant form of a laminin E8 fragment conjugated to the heparan sulfate chains. Taking advantage of the new generation laminin fragments, authors established a highly efficient and xeno‐free protocol for paraxial mesoderm differentiation of hiPSCs followed by high myogenic induction ...

Endogenous mammalian lectin localized extracellularly in lung elastic fibers. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
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 ...

Using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) to model human neuromuscular connectivity: promise or reality? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Motor neuron diseases (MND) such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and spinal muscular atrophy are devastating, progressive and ultimately fatal diseases for which there are no effective treatments. Recent evidence from systematic studies of animal models

Extended 2D myotube culture recapitulates postnatal fibre type plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: The traditional problems of performing skeletal muscle cell cultures derived from mammalian or avian species are limited myotube differentiation, and transient myotube persistence which greatly restricts the ability of myotubes to undergo ...

Acetylcholine Receptors and Concanavalin A-Binding Sites on Cultured Xenopus Muscle Cells: Electrophoresis, Diffusion, and Aggregation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Using digitally analyzed fluorescence videomicroscopy, we have examined the behavior of acetylcholine receptors and concanavalin A binding sites in response to externally applied electric fields.

Establishing laboratory standards for biological flight experiments [PDF]

open access: yes
The general objective of this research was to assess the effects of exposure to simulated microgravity on ultrastructural aspects of the contractile system in chicken skeletal muscle cells. This general objective had two specific experimental components:
