A functional motor unit in the culture dish : co-culture of spinal cord explants and muscle cells [PDF]
, 2012 Human primary muscle cells cultured aneurally in monolayer rarely contract spontaneously because, in the absence of a nerve component, cell differentiation is limited and motor neuron stimulation is missing(1). These limitations hamper the in vitro study

One day of environment‐induced heat stress causes injury to the murine kidney
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Environment‐induced heat stress (EIHS) results from sustained body temperature elevation owing to prolonged exposure to heat and humidity. We hypothesized that EIHS would cause kidney injury and cellular dysfunction. To test this hypothesis, female C57 mice were exposed to EIHS (n = 14; 37.6°C, 42.0% relative humidity) or thermoneutral (TN ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend This study investigated the effects of volitional exercise on muscle health in the more severe D2.mdx model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We showed that 8–10 weeks of a relatively high volume of voluntary wheel running (VWR) in D2.mdx animals augmented select muscle mass and normalized ex vivo muscle force compared to ...

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2009 The dystrophin gene, located at Xp21, codifies dystrophin, which is part of a protein complex responsible for the membrane stability of muscle cells. Its absence on muscle causes Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a severe disorder, while a defect of ...

Steric regulation of tandem calponin homology domain actin-binding affinity. [PDF]
, 2019 Tandem calponin homology (CH1-CH2) domains are common actin-binding domains in proteins that interact with and organize the actin cytoskeleton. Despite regions of high sequence similarity, CH1-CH2 domains can have remarkably different actin-binding ...

Dietary nitrate supplementation mitigates age‐related changes at the neuromuscular junction in mice
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Ageing is associated with a decline in muscle mass and strength, namely sarcopenia, significantly impacting the quality of life in older individuals. Different strategies are being explored to counteract these detrimental effects. In the present study, we investigated a non‐invasive nutritional approach: the impact of 2 months of

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2018 Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a fatal muscle disease, caused by mutations in DMD, leading to loss of dystrophin expression. Phosphorodiamidate morpholino splice-switching oligonucleotides (PMO-SSOs) have been used to elicit the restoration of a ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The results from this study show that maximal cardiac output, stroke volume and leg blood flow are similar between highly trained females and males after normalisation to lean body mass (LBM). However, the 10% higher haemoglobin concentration ([Hb]) and arterial O2 content in males result in higher systemic and leg O2 delivery ...

Targeting a therapeutic LIF transgene to muscle via the immune system ameliorates muscular dystrophy. [PDF]
, 2019 Many potentially therapeutic molecules have been identified for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, targeting those molecules only to sites of active pathology is an obstacle to their clinical use.
