Skeletal muscle performance and ageing

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2017
The world population is ageing rapidly. As society ages, the incidence of physical limitations is dramatically increasing, which reduces the quality of life and increases healthcare expenditures.

Whole‐Body Pattern of Muscle Degeneration and Progression in Sarcoglycanopathies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize whole‐body intramuscular fat distribution pattern in patients with sarcoglycanopathies and explore correlations with disease severity, duration and age at onset. Methods Retrospective, cross‐sectional, multicentric study enrolling patients with variants in one of the four sarcoglycan genes who underwent whole‐body ...

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

Skeletal 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

Skeletal 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-

A 73‐Year‐Old Man With Several Years of Difficulty Climbing Stairs and Frequent Tripping

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 73‐year‐old man presented with progressive weakness and atrophy predominantly affecting the distal finger flexors and quadriceps muscles. Electrophysiological studies demonstrated mixed myogenic and neurogenic features. Muscle MRI showed inflammatory changes, and muscle biopsy revealed granulomatous myositis with histologic features ...

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

Skeletal 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

3D Bioprinting in Skeletal Muscle Tissue Engineering.

Small, 2019
Skeletal muscle tissue engineering (SMTE) aims at repairing defective skeletal muscles. Until now, numerous developments are made in SMTE; however, it is still challenging to recapitulate the complexity of muscles with current methods of fabrication ...

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...
