Ablation of Protein Kinase CK2β in Skeletal Muscle Fibers Interferes with Their Oxidative Capacity
Pharmaceuticals, 2017 The tetrameric protein kinase CK2 was identified playing a role at neuromuscular junctions by studying CK2β-deficient muscle fibers in mice, and in cultured immortalized C2C12 muscle cells after individual knockdown of CK2α and CK2β subunits.

Effects of mechanical over-loading on the properties of soleus muscle fibers, with or without damage, in wild type and mdx mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Effects of mechanical over-loading on the characteristics of regenerating or normal soleus muscle fibers were studied in dystrophin-deficient (mdx) and wild type (WT) mice.

Rinsho Shinkeigaku, 2012 Muscle fibers have been classified into two major forms of red (slow twitch) and white (fast twitch) muscles. The red muscle utilizes lipid as energy source through mitochondrial metabolism and function to sustain the position against gravity (sometimes called as antigravity muscle). Under microgravity the red muscle is selectively involved.

Skeletal Fiber Type in Muscle Pain and Dysfunction
BiomedicinesDifferent types of skeletal muscle fibers display marked heterogeneity in metabolic, mechanical, and regenerative properties. However, their role in chronic musculoskeletal pain remains insufficiently integrated into clinical models.

Single Muscle Fiber Proteomics Reveals Fiber-Type-Specific Features of Human Muscle Aging
Cell Reports, 2017 Skeletal muscle is a key tissue in human aging, which affects different muscle fiber types unequally. We developed a highly sensitive single muscle fiber proteomics workflow to study human aging and show that the senescence of slow and fast muscle fibers

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 IntroductionLittle is known about potential differences in contractile properties of muscle fibers of the same type in arms and legs. Accordingly, the present study was designed to compare the force-generating capacity and Ca2+ sensitivity of fibers from

Science RoboticsActuators are to robots what muscles are to humans. They enable motion and determine strength and dexterity. The fiber form factor makes skeletal muscles modular, scalable, and densely integrated (50% of human body weight). In contrast, servo motors that drive today’s robots lack the flexibility and modularity of muscle fibers, limiting integration and

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

PLoS ONE, 2019 Nemaline myopathy (NEM) is a congenital neuromuscular disorder primarily caused by nebulin gene (NEB) mutations. NEM is characterized by muscle weakness for which currently no treatments exist.
