Insulin and islet cell transplants: effects on diabetic rat cardiac myofibril ATPase
Streptozotocin-induced diabetes results in depression of growth rate, cardiac myofibril ATPase activity, and elevated plasma glucose levels. Reversibility of these changes with daily insulin injections and pancreatic islet cell transplants was ...

The Human Biomarker Navigator integrates the disease continuum, biomarker dynamics, cross‐organ biomarker networks, biomarker classification, and technology‐driven paradigms. It maps how biomarkers link multi‐system physiology and pathology across the nervous, respiratory, endocrine, circulatory, immune, digestive, urinary, reproductive, and ...

We tested the hypothesis that exercise training provides a stimulus that could modify the decrement in mitochondria-to-myofibril volume ratio characteristic of myocardial cells hypertrophied in response to a pressure overload. Spontaneously hypertensive

MicroRNA–mRNA Networks in Skeletal Muscle of Tailored Pig Models for Dystrophinopathies
ABSTRACT Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are X‐linked dystrophinopathies caused by mutations in the dystrophin (DMD) gene. A common DMD‐causing mutation in humans is exon 52 deletion (DMDΔ52), which disrupts the reading frame and abolishes dystrophin expression.

Intramuscular Fat as a Biomarker of Muscle Health: Strengths, Limitations and Open Challenges
ABSTRACT Intramuscular fat (IMF), also known as myosteatosis, refers to the accumulation of lipids within and around skeletal muscle fibres. Excess IMF is increasingly recognised as a sign of poor muscle quality, linked to reductions in strength, power and mobility, and associated with adverse outcomes in metabolic disease, osteoarthritis ...

Recent Advances in Oriented Hydrogels: From Fundamental Mechanisms to Future Challenges
Traditional hydrogels suffer from weak mechanical properties and limited functionality due to their random polymer networks. This review comprehensively summarizes the reinforcement mechanisms of oriented structure for hydrogels, the design/fabrication strategies, and the latest application progress of high‐strength oriented hydrogels.

Mechanism of Oleic Add-Induced Myofibril Disassembly in Rat Cardiomyocytes
This study investigated the mechanism of oleic acid (OA)- induced disassembly of myofibrils in cardiomyocytes. OA treatment disrupted myofibrils, as revealed by the disorganization of several sarcomeric proteins.

ABSTRACT Aim Skeletal muscle atrophy is tightly associated with maladaptive alterations in mitochondrial function and morphology. Itchy E3 ubiquitin‐protein ligase (ITCH) modulates mitochondria, and thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) positively regulates muscle atrophy, but their roles in muscle atrophy are unclear. Methods A muscle atrophy model was established

Abstract figure legend This study uses systems modelling to demonstrate a role of SOCE in sustained force generation during exercise. SOCE leads to two competing effects on contractile force in myofibres – increased cross‐bridge cycling due to elevated myoplasmic Ca2+$\text{Ca}^{2+}$ enhances force, whereas increased accumulation of myoplasmic ...

Abstract figure legend Skeletal muscle structure was analysed at three levels in young vs. aged humans, and in young vs. aged mice subjected to unilateral hindlimb immobilization to model disuse. (1) Macroscopic: magnetic resonance imaging of the thigh (human) and wet mass of individual hindlimb muscles (mouse) revealed that both ageing and disuse ...
