Skeletal muscle adaptations in patients with lung cancer: Longitudinal observations from the whole body to cellular level

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2023
Background Cancer and its treatment can adversely affect skeletal muscle, impacting physical function, treatment response and survival. No studies, however, have comprehensively characterized these muscle adaptations longitudinally in human patients at ...

Insomnia impairs muscle function via regulating protein degradation and muscle clock [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Background: Insomnia makes people more physically unable of doing daily duties, which results in a lack of strength, leads to lacking in strength. However, the effects of insomnia on muscle function have not yet been thoroughly investigated. So, the objectives of this study were to clarify how insomnia contributes to the decrease of muscular function ...

Applicability of ultrasonography for evaluating trunk muscle size: a pilot study

Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 2017
[Purpose] Ultrasonography (US) is widely applied to measure the muscle size in the limbs, as it has relatively high portability and is associated with low costs compared with large clinical devices such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

The scaling of postcranial muscles in cats (Felidae) I: forelimb, cervical, and thoracic muscles [PDF]

, 2016
The body masses of cats (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae) span a ~300‐fold range from the smallest to largest species. Despite this range, felid musculoskeletal anatomy remains remarkably conservative, including the maintenance of a crouched limb posture at

TOMM20 as a driver of cancer aggressiveness via oxidative phosphorylation, maintenance of a reduced state, and resistance to apoptosis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TOMM20 increases cancer aggressiveness by maintaining a reduced state with increased NADH and NADPH levels, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and apoptosis resistance while reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Conversely, CRISPR‐Cas9 knockdown of TOMM20 alters these cancer‐aggressive traits.

Neural self-organization for muscle-driven robots [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We present self-organizing control principles for simulated robots actuated by synthetic muscles. Muscles correspond to linear motors exerting force only when contracting, but not when expanding, with joints being actuated by pairs of antagonistic muscles.

Plasma lipidomic and metabolomic profiles in high‐grade glioma patients before and after 72‐h presurgery water‐only fasting

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Presurgery 72‐h fasting in GB patients leads to adaptations of plasma lipids and polar metabolites. Fasting reduces lysophosphatidylcholines and increases free fatty acids, shifts triglycerides toward long‐chain TGs and increases branched‐chain amino acids, alpha aminobutyric acid, and uric acid.

Metabolic and structural changes in lower-limb skeletal muscle following neuromuscular electrical stimulation: a systematic review. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can be applied as a complementary intervention to regular exercise training programs. A distinction can be made between high-frequency (HF) NMES and low-frequency (LF) NMES.

Common Synaptic Input, Synergies, and Size Principle: Control of Spinal Motor Neurons for Movement Generation [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Understanding how movement is controlled by the central nervous system remains a major challenge, with ongoing debate about basic features underlying this control. In this review, we introduce a new conceptual framework for the distribution of common input to spinal motor neurons.

Atrophy, oxidative switching and ultrastructural defects in skeletal muscle of the ataxia telangiectasia mouse model [PDF]

, 2019
Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare, multi system disease caused by ATM kinase deficiency. Atm-knockout mice recapitulate premature aging, immunodeficiency, cancer predisposition, growth retardation and motor defects, but not cerebellar neurodegeneration and
