Modelling and Analysis of Magnetic Fields from Skeletal Muscle for Valuable Physiological Measurements [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 MagnetoMyoGraphy (MMG) is a method of studying muscle function via weak magnetic fields generated from human active organs and tissues. The correspondence between MMG and electromyography means directly derived from the Maxwell-Amp\`ere law. Here, upon briefly describing the principles of voltage distribution inside skeletal muscles due to the ...

Myoblast fusion confusion: the resolution begins
Skeletal Muscle, 2018 The fusion of muscle precursor cells is a required event for proper skeletal muscle development and regeneration. Numerous proteins have been implicated to function in myoblast fusion; however, the majority are expressed in diverse tissues and regulate ...

Accelerated, physics-inspired inference of skeletal muscle microstructure from diffusion-weighted MRI [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Muscle health is a critical component of overall health and quality of life. However, current measures of skeletal muscle health take limited account of microstructural variations within muscle, which play a crucial role in mediating muscle function. To address this, we present a physics-inspired, machine learning-based framework for the non-invasive ...

Skeletal Muscle, 2012 Background Mice lacking MyoD exhibit delayed skeletal muscle regeneration and markedly enhanced numbers of satellite cells. Myoblasts isolated from MyoD-/- myoblasts proliferate more rapidly than wild type myoblasts, display a dramatic delay in ...

The RNA-binding proteins Zfp36l1 and Zfp36l2 act redundantly in myogenesis
Skeletal Muscle, 2018 Background Members of the ZFP36 family of RNA-binding proteins regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by binding to AU-rich elements in the 3’UTR of mRNA and stimulating mRNA degradation.

Skeletal Muscle, 2017 Background shRNA lentiviral vectors are extensively used for gene knockdowns in mammalian cells, and non-target shRNAs typically are considered the proper experimental control for general changes caused by RNAi.

mTORC2 affects the maintenance of the muscle stem cell pool
Skeletal Muscle, 2019 Background The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2), containing the essential protein rictor, regulates cellular metabolism and cytoskeletal organization by phosphorylating protein kinases, such as PKB/Akt, PKC, and SGK.

Regulation of skeletal muscle growth by the IGF1-Akt/PKB pathway: insights from genetic models
Skeletal Muscle, 2011 A highly conserved signaling pathway involving insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), and a cascade of intracellular components that mediate its effects, plays a major role in the regulation of skeletal muscle growth. A central component in this cascade is

SMCHD1 regulates a limited set of gene clusters on autosomal chromosomes
Skeletal Muscle, 2017 Background Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is in most cases caused by a contraction of the D4Z4 macrosatellite repeat on chromosome 4 (FSHD1) or by mutations in the SMCHD1 or DNMT3B gene (FSHD2).
