Regeneration of Soft Tissues Is Promoted by MMP1 Treatment after Digit Amputation in Mice [PDF]
The ratio of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in wounded tissues strictly control the protease activity of MMPs, and therefore regulate the progress of wound closure, tissue regeneration and scar ...

Motor and behavioural abnormalities associated with persistent spontaneous epilepsy in the fvb/n mouse strain [PDF]
The FVB/N mouse strain (Mus musculus) is often used for generation of transgenic animals. However, it has also been the object of several studies in epilepsy research due to its increased susceptibility to develop spontaneous and induced seizures and its

Gonad-related factors promote muscle performance gain during postnatal development in male and female mice [PDF]
To better define the role of male and female gonad-related factors (MGRF, presumably testosterone, and FGRF, presumably estradiol, respectively) on mouse hindlimb skeletal muscle contractile performance/function gain during postnatal development, we ...

Novel individualized power training protocol preserves physical function in adult and older mice [PDF]
Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, contributes to frailty, functional decline, and reduced quality of life in older adults. Exercise is a recognized therapy for sarcopenia and muscle dysfunction, though not a cure. Muscle power

Functional muscle hypertrophy by increased insulin-like growth factor 1 does not require dysferlin. [PDF]
IntroductionDysferlin loss-of-function mutations cause muscular dystrophy, accompanied by impaired membrane repair and muscle weakness. Growth promoting strategies including insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) could provide benefit but may cause ...
