Muscle Differentiation: A Gene for Slow Muscle? [PDF]
Current Biology, 2004 Skeletal muscle comes in two fundamental flavours, slow and fast, which determine physiological performance. Zebrafish screens have provided a handle on the molecular mechanism driving slow muscle formation. The transcriptional repressor Blimp1 has now been shown to be required in embryonic slow muscle precursor cells.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.

Investigating the Correlation between Force Output, Strains, and Pressure for Active Skeletal Muscle Contractions [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Experimental observations suggest that the force output of the skeletal muscle tissue can be correlated to the intra-muscular pressure generated by the muscle belly. However, pressure often proves difficult to measure through in-vivo tests. Simulations on the other hand, offer a tool to model muscle contractions and analyze the relationship between ...

Towards Non-contact Muscle Activity Estimation using FMCW Radar [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a widely used muscle activity monitoring technique. sEMG measures muscle activity through monopolar and bipolar, multi-electrode electrodes. The surface electrodes are placed on the surface of the skin above the target muscle and the received signal can be used to infer the state of the muscle - active, inactive or ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

A transient inflammatory response contributes to oxaliplatin neurotoxicity in mice
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1985-1998, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objectives Peripheral neuropathy is a relevant dose‐limiting adverse event that can affect up to 90% of oncologic patients with colorectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin treatment. The severity of neurotoxicity often leads to dose reduction or even premature cessation of chemotherapy.
