Impaired cardiac and skeletal muscle bioenergetics in children, adolescents, and young adults with Barth syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an X‐linked condition characterized by altered cardiolipin metabolism and cardioskeletal myopathy. We sought to compare cardiac and skeletal muscle bioenergetics in children, adolescents, and young adults with BTHS and unaffected

GsMTx4-blocked PIEZO1 channel promotes myogenic differentiation and alleviates myofiber damage in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

open access: yesSkeletal Muscle
Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a debilitating disease characterized by progressive muscle-wasting and a lack of effective therapy. Although the application of GsMTx4 has been shown to reduce muscle mass loss in dystrophic mice, the ...

Differentiation and fiber type-specific activity of a muscle creatine kinase intronic enhancer

open access: yesSkeletal Muscle, 2011
Background Hundreds of genes, including muscle creatine kinase (MCK), are differentially expressed in fast- and slow-twitch muscle fibers, but the fiber type-specific regulatory mechanisms are not well understood. Results Modulatory region 1 (MR1) is a 1-

Osteocytes under Mechanical Loading Regulate PC‐3 Cancer Cell–Mineral Interactions during Early‐Stage Metastasis to Bone

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
In this study, Seaman et al. develop a co‐culture assay to examine interactions between prostate cancer cells and mineralized osteoblasts in a microfluidic platform. The authors collect conditioned media from static or flow‐stimulated osteocytes and demonstrate that mechanical loading of osteocytes regulates the growth of prostate cancer cells and ...

DUX4 at 25: how it emerged from “junk DNA” to become the cause of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

open access: yesSkeletal Muscle
Double Homeobox 4 (DUX4) is a potent transcription factor encoded by a retrogene mapped in D4Z4 repeated elements on chromosome 4q35. DUX4 has emerged as pivotal in the pathomechanisms of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a relatively common

Liquid Crystal Elastomers Under Confinement: A Review of Template‐Based Fabrication and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Template‐assisted confinement offers powerful ways to control the alignment, structure, and function of liquid crystal elastomers. This review highlights several templating strategies and details how geometry and interfaces shape material responses.

Flux control of cytochrome c oxidase in human skeletal muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
In the present work, by titrating cytochrome c oxidase (COX) with the specific inhibitor KCN, the flux control coefficient and the metabolic reserve capacity of COX have been determined in human saponin-permeabilized muscle fibers. In the presence of the

Identifying kinematic biomarkers of the dystrophic phenotype in a zebrafish model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

open access: yesSkeletal Muscle
Background Dystrophin-deficient zebrafish larvae are a small, genetically tractable vertebrate model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy that is well suited for early-stage therapeutic development.
