Effects of Chronic Akt/mTOR Inhibition by Rapamycin on Mechanical Overload–Induced Hypertrophy and Myosin Heavy Chain Transition in Masseter Muscle

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013
To examine the effects of the Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway on masseter muscle hypertrophy and myosin heavy chain (MHC) transition in response to mechanical overload, we analyzed the effects of bite-opening (BO) on the hypertrophy and ...

Potential Moderators of the Effects of Blood Flow Restriction Training on Muscle Strength and Hypertrophy: A Meta-analysis Based on a Comparison with High-Load Resistance Training

Sports Medicine - Open
Background While it has been examined whether there are similar magnitudes of muscle strength and hypertrophy adaptations between low-load resistance training combined with blood-flow restriction training (BFR-RT) and high-load resistance training (HL-RT)

Hitting the Gym: Reinforcement Learning Control of Exercise-Strengthened Biohybrid Robots in Simulation [PDF]

arXiv
Animals can accomplish many incredible behavioral feats across a wide range of operational environments and scales that current robots struggle to match. One explanation for this performance gap is the extraordinary properties of the biological materials that comprise animals, such as muscle tissue.

TSUBF-Net: Trans-Spatial UNet-like Network with Bi-direction Fusion for Segmentation of Adenoid Hypertrophy in CT [PDF]

arXiv
Adenoid hypertrophy stands as a common cause of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome in children. It is characterized by snoring, nasal congestion, and growth disorders. Computed Tomography (CT) emerges as a pivotal medical imaging modality, utilizing X-rays and advanced computational techniques to generate detailed cross-sectional images.

A Key Role for the Ubiquitin Ligase UBR4 in Myofiber Hypertrophy in Drosophila and Mice

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Skeletal muscle cell (myofiber) atrophy is a detrimental component of aging and cancer that primarily results from muscle protein degradation via the proteasome and ubiquitin ligases.
