ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

Adjuvant pharmacological strategies for the musculoskeletal system during long‐term space missions
Abstract Despite 2 h of daily exercise training, muscle wasting and bone loss are still present after 6‐month missions to the international space station. Some crew members lose bone much faster than others. In preparation for missions to the Moon and Mars, space agencies are therefore reviewing their countermeasure portfolios.

Pericytes in Muscular Dystrophies
The muscular dystrophies are an heterogeneous group of inherited myopathies characterised by the progressive wasting of skeletal muscle tissue. Pericytes have been shown to make muscle in vitro and to contribute to skeletal muscle regeneration in several animal models, although recent data has shown this to be controversial.

Considerations in Transition of Pediatric Neurology Patients to Adult Care
ABSTRACT Background Transition refers to the planned, coordinated movement of adolescents from the child‐ and family‐centered environment of pediatric care to the adult healthcare system. A well‐structured transition process is essential for ensuring adolescents with chronic health conditions continue to thrive in young adulthood.

Gel Electrophoretic Detection of Black Market ACE‐031
This article presents a study on black market ACE‐031 products and their detection by gel‐electrophoresis and Western blotting. Of the 14 tested products, only 12 contained an ACVR2B‐immunoreactive protein. However, mass spectrometry revealed that the products did not contain the ACVR2B‐Fc fusion protein ACE‐031 but instead the full‐length human ...
