Targeted brain-specific tauopathy compromises peripheral skeletal muscle integrity and function

Aging Brain
Tauopathies are neurodegenerative disorders in which the pathological intracellular aggregation of the protein tau causes cognitive deficits. Additionally, clinical studies report muscle weakness in populations with tauopathy.

The molecular dysregulation of excitation contraction coupling in patients with congenital muscle disorders [PDF]

, 2015
Excitation contraction coupling (ECC) is the process whereby an action potential spreading throughout the muscle membrane activates muscle contraction, by releasing Ca2+ from the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR).

Mutations causing muscle weakness [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998
Transmission of signals from nerves to muscles is critical for life, so substantial safety factor mechanisms have evolved to ensure its success. Despite this, diseases can impair even this robust system. Characterizing these disease mechanisms greatly contributes to understanding this fundamental process.

Measuring and managing foot muscle weakness [PDF]

, 2018
Foot muscle weakness is caused by disease, injury, inactivity and ageing, with disabling consequences. Exercise improves muscle weakness however, adherence to correct technique is challenging. Biofeedback may improve performance.
