Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.Objective To explore whether higher body fat and lower lean mass are associated with greater pain and worse patient‐reported physical function in individuals with hip osteoarthritis (OA). A secondary aim was to examine whether pain and patient‐reported physical function differ according to four body composition profiles: high body fat, low lean mass ...

Micro-RNA family that modulates fibrosis and uses thereof [PDF]
, 2017 The present invention relates to the identification of a microRNA family, designated miR-29a-c, that is a key regulator of fibrosis in cardiac tissue. The inventors show that members of the miR-29 family are down-regulated in the heart tissue in response

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.We measure the cell‐specific responses of administering infusible ECM (iECM) in acute myocardial infarction (MI) across multiple timepoints. Using single‐nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we measure macrophage activation, fibroblast remodeling, increased vascular development, lymphangiogenesis, cardioprotection, and neurogenesis ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Skeletal muscle fibers are multinucleated cells that contain mostly myofibrils suspended in an aqueous media termed the sarcoplasm. Select evidence suggests sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, or a disproportionate expansion of the sarcoplasm relative to myofibril

Muscle hypertrophy in myotonia congenita [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2003 A 28 year old male presented to our neurology service with stiffness of a few years’ duration in all muscles. The stiffness was maximum at the onset of exercise and his muscles loosened up after some time. He had no difficulty in releasing his grip after holding an object. He had very well developed muscles in spite …

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that ALY688, a drug mimicking the heart‐protective hormone adiponectin, reduces myocardial ischemia injury. ALY688 increases the production of extracellular vesicles, which carry protective cargo including adiponectin itself.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Diabetes mellitus induces a reduction in skeletal muscle mass and strength. Strength training is prescribed as part of treatment since it improves glycemic control and promotes increase of skeletal muscle mass. The mechanisms involved in overload-induced

Comparison of upper body strength gains between men and women after 10 weeks of resistance training [PDF]
, 2016 Resistance training (RT) offers benefits to both men and women. However, the studies about the differences between men and women in response to an RT program are not conclusive and few data are available about upper body strength response.
