Research into the physiology of myosins - a personal odyssey

European Journal of Translational Myology
During my PhD, I worked on the neural regulation of mechanical properties fast and slow muscles. This led me to believe that myosins in fast and slow muscles are structurally distinct and that motor nerves regulate the expression of myosin genes.

Female‐Biased Sexual Size Dimorphism and Its Potential Causes in Hairy‐Winged Bats

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Based on the integration of molecular genetics, traditional and geometric morphology, and acoustic characteristics of hairy‐winged bats (a species that was historically misclassified into two species due to extreme craniodental divergence between the sexes) in multiple regions of China, we quantified the sexual size dimorphism (SSD) between males and ...

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Targeting peroxynitrite production in a model of persistent temporomandibular disorder comorbid with migraine

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The persistence of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), particularly myogenous, in a person with migraine can lead to exacerbated clinical outcomes and limited response to treatment. The pro‐nociceptive reactive nitroxidative species, peroxynitrite, is involved in migraine mechanisms, but little is known of its role in this ...

The effect of the type of jaw growth caused by the change of baby teeth on the bioelectric activity of the chewing muscles

Эндодонтия Today
INTRODUCTION. The bioelectric activity of the masticatory muscles is influenced by many factors due to the parameters of the craniofacial complex – morphometric parameters of the head. However, there is no data in the literature on the effect of the type

Temporomandibular joint disorder and gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim To determine the prevalence of the clinical signs and symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder (TMD) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and to examine their associations with severity of gross motor impairment, CP subtype, and caregiver‐reported bruxism. Method This cross‐sectional study included 517 children with CP (mean age =

Caveolin-1, caveolin-3 and VEGF expression in the masticatory muscles of mdx mice

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2011
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and murine X-linked muscular dystrophy (mdx), its murine model, are characterized by muscle damage and muscle weakness associated with inflammation and new vessel formation. Caveolins, dystrophin-associated proteins, are

Unilateral fibroadipose degeneration of the masticatory muscles

Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, 2001
Abstract A unique case of fatty replacement of the masticatory muscles, causing progressive limitation of mouth opening, is presented. Both CT and MRI revealed an almost total substitution of the masticatory muscles with fatty tissue, confirmed by the histopathology at surgery.

Relationship Between Self‐Reported Bruxism and Perceived Stress Among Brazilian Health Science Students

European Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Investigate the relationship between perceived stress and self‐reported bruxism among health science students, as well as to map the instruments used to assess both variables. Methods A total of 545 students from health science programs at the UNIFAL‐MG participated in this cross‐sectional study, which used the Self‐Reported Bruxism
