Enhancing Form Stability: Shrink‐Resistant Hydrogels Made of Interpenetrating Networks of Recombinant Spider Silk and Collagen‐I

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A shrinkage‐resistant hydrogel is developed to confer post‐fabrication shape fidelity. The hydrogel, based on recombinant spider silk protein eADF4(C16)‐RGD and collagen‐I, exhibits tunable mechanical properties and shrink‐resistance in the presence of fibroblasts as well as muscle cells.

Transgenic overexpression of γ-cytoplasmic actin protects against eccentric contraction-induced force loss in mdx mice

Skeletal Muscle, 2011
Background γ-cytoplasmic (γ-cyto) actin levels are elevated in dystrophin-deficient mdx mouse skeletal muscle. The purpose of this study was to determine whether further elevation of γ-cyto actin levels improve or exacerbate the dystrophic phenotype of ...

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

HDAC4 preserves skeletal muscle structure following long-term denervation by mediating distinct cellular responses

Skeletal Muscle, 2018
Background Denervation triggers numerous molecular responses in skeletal muscle, including the activation of catabolic pathways and oxidative stress, leading to progressive muscle atrophy.

Haemangiomata of skeletal muscle

Journal of British Surgery, 1972
Abstract Two cases of skeletal muscle haemangiomata are described. All previous cases of this condition are reviewed and a brief account is given of the important facets of aetiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Wherever a soft-tissue swelling presents in the region of skeletal muscle the possible diagnosis of

Porous Silicon Nanoneedles Efficiently Deliver Adenine Base Editor to Correct a Recurrent Pathogenic COL7A1 Variant in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Base editing using nanoneedles efficiently corrects pathogenic variants in the type VII collagen gene of primary fibroblasts from patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. Nanoneedle editing induces minimal and reversible transcriptional perturbations while restoring the production and secretion of functional type VII collagen.

Muscle satellite cell proliferation and association: new insights from myofiber time-lapse imaging

Skeletal Muscle, 2011
Background As the resident stem cells of skeletal muscle, satellite cells are activated by extracellular cues associated with local damage. Once activated, satellite cells will re-enter the cell cycle to proliferate and supply a population of myoblasts ...

Production of Parallel Aligned Nanofiber Rovings From Continuous Bundles

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Continuous nanofiber rovings are produced via electrospinning. The integration of false twisting and drawing improved fiber properties. Optimized twisting increases fiber alignment and tensile strength. The drawing process reduces the average nanofiber diameter from 297 to 200 nm and decreases the standard deviation of alignment angles from 14.2° to 8 ...
