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

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
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-

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 ...

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