The MRL Mitochondrial Genome Decreases Murine Muscular Dystrophy Severity
Muscles, 2023 It is well known that muscular dystrophy disease severity is controlled by genetic modifiers. The expectation is that by identifying these modifiers, we can illuminate additional therapeutic targets with which to combat the disease.

Connectivity of the Superficial Muscles of the Human Perineum: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging-Based Global Tractography Study. [PDF]
, 2018 Despite the importance of pelvic floor muscles, significant controversy still exists about the true structural details of these muscles. We provide an objective analysis of the architecture and orientation of the superficial muscles of the perineum using

The Energy Benefits of the Pantograph Wing Mechanism in Flapping Flight: Case Study of a Gull [PDF]
, 2015 Bird wings generally contain a 4-bar pantograph mechanism in the forearm that enables the wrist joint to be actuated from the elbow joint thus reducing the number of wing muscles and hence reducing the wing inertia and inertial drag.
