Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...

The Effect of Anti‐3‐Hydroxy‐3‐Methylglutaryl‐CoA Reductase (HMGCR) Human Autoantibodies on Muscle Regeneration in Mice

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Anti‐3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl‐CoA reductase (HMGCR) autoantibodies (aAbs) are pathogenic in immune‐mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), partly through complement activation. C5 inhibition did not restore muscle strength in mice or patients with overt IMNM, suggesting additional pathogenic mechanisms.

Feasibility of a Home‐Based Exergaming Intervention for Youth With Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Approaches to optimize physical activity in youth with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are rapidly evolving. The primary objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of a fit‐for‐purpose home‐based exergaming intervention in children and youth with SMA and peer controls.

Electron microscopical and histochemical studies on the transverse striated muscles of birds after prolonged hypokinesis [PDF]

Studies of the gastrocnemius muscle were carried out in 4 month old cockerels of the laying hybrid after hypokinesis lasting 15 and 30 days. It was found that restricted movement resulted in dystrophic changes of myotibrils, enlargement of the ...

A model‐informed clinical trial simulation tool with a graphical user interface for Duchenne muscular dystrophy

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Quantitative model‐based clinical trial simulation tools play a critical role in informing study designs through simulation before actual execution. These tools help drug developers explore various trial scenarios in silico to select a clinical trial design to detect therapeutic effects more efficiently, therefore reducing time, expense, and ...

A computational tool to optimize clinical trial parameter selection in Duchenne muscular dystrophy: A practical guide and case studies

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a rare pediatric disease, presents numerous challenges when designing clinical trials, mainly due to the scarcity of available trial participants and the heterogeneity of disease progression. A quantitative clinical trial simulator (CTS) has been developed based on previously published five disease ...

Age-related loss of skeletal muscle function; impairment of gene expression. [PDF]

, 2004
Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is derived from the insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) but its sequence differs from the systemic IGF-I produced by the liver. MGF is expressed by mechanically overloaded muscle and is involved in tissue repair and adaptation.
