Muscle spindles of the rat sternomastoid muscle
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2018 The sternomastoid (SM) muscle in rodents presents a peculiar distribution of fiber types with a steep gradient from the ventral, superficial, white portion to the dorsal, deep, red region, where muscle spindles are restricted. Cross section of the medial longitudinal third of the rat SM contains around 10,000 muscle fibers with a mean diameter of 51.28±

Aurora B suppresses microtubule dynamics and limits central spindle size by locally activating KIF4A [PDF]
, 2013 Anaphase central spindle formation is controlled by the microtubule-stabilizing factor PRC1 and the kinesin KIF4A. We show that an MKlp2-dependent pool of Aurora B at the central spindle, rather than global Aurora B activity, regulates KIF4A accumulation

Muscle Spindles in Phasic and Tonic Muscle
The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1964 Comparisons were made of muscle spindle structure between phasic and tonic muscles stained by the gold chloride method. The most significant difference was in the ring diameter of the sensory nerve terminals wrapped around the nuclear bags. In tibialis anterior it was largest, in gastrocnemius intermediate, and in soleus smallest.

Force encoding in muscle spindles during stretch of passive muscle.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2017 Muscle spindle proprioceptive receptors play a primary role in encoding the effects of external mechanical perturbations to the body. During externally-imposed stretches of passive, i.e.

Degeneration of muscle spindles in a murine model of Pompe disease
Scientific Reports, 2023 Pompe disease is a debilitating medical condition caused by a functional deficiency of lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). In addition to muscle weakness, people living with Pompe disease experience motor coordination deficits including an instable ...

GENERAL STRUCTURE AND INNERVATION OF SPINDLE MUSCLE OF THE DABB LIZARD, Uromastix acanthinura [PDF]
Journal of Productivity and Development, 2010 The structure and innervation of spindle muscle in Uromastix acanthinura was studied. The skeletal muscles were stained with silver impregnation, dissociated and mounted in glycerin. The spindles were completely isolated from the extrafusal muscle fibers.

Brain Sciences, 2023 Sensorimotor control can be impaired by slacked muscle spindles. This was shown for reflex responses and, recently, also for muscular stability in the sense of Adaptive Force (AF).

The effect of cold on the trigeminal reflexes
Neurological Sciences and Neurophysiology, 2021 Objective: Effects of muscle cooling on the spinal stretch and monosynaptic reflexes have been studied to describe the properties of Group I and II afferents of muscle spindles.

Generating intrafusal skeletal muscle fibres : Current state of the art and future challenges
Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2020 Intrafusal fibres are a specialised cell population in skeletal muscle, found within the muscle spindle. These fibres have a mechano-sensory capacity, forming part of the monosynaptic stretch-reflex arc, a key component responsible for proprioceptive ...
