Foot Musculature of the Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus): An Anatomical Study

Animals
The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is a New World monkey that was introduced as an animal model in biomedical research in the 1960s. In addition to their use in biomedical research, marmosets are also often housed in zoos.

Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth I: Complete myology in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and prolonged suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and accordingly demonstrate myological traits consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the elbow joint, and grip on the support.

Myology of the Reptilia

The FASEB Journal, 2020
Sauropsid vertebrates (lepidosaurs, turtles, crocodilians and birds) have evolved a diversity of head shapes and feeding behaviors during their history. A key to understanding this great radiation of reptiles is the physiology of the jaw musculature which powers the feeding apparatus.

The limb myology of Phascolarctus cinereus [PDF]

, 1907
The dissections upon which the following account of the limb myology of the Koala is based were carried out at the Anatomical Laboratory of Melbourne University, under the superintendence of Professor Berry; and the work forms part of an extensive ...

Updating the forelimb anatomy of the domestic cat (Felis catus, Felidae) based on evolutionary inferences of its muscles and nerves I: Shoulder and brachium

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study, we provide a detailed description of the shoulder and brachium muscles and the brachial plexus of the domestic cat (Felis catus). We identified muscular variants (articularis humeri, coracobrachialis longus, biceps brachii caput breve), clarified the independence of the anconeus medialis muscle from the triceps brachii muscle, and ...

Lamin Mutations Cause Increased YAP Nuclear Entry in Muscle Stem Cells

Cells, 2020
Mutations in the LMNA gene, encoding the nuclear envelope A-type lamins, are responsible for muscular dystrophies, the most severe form being the LMNA-related congenital muscular dystrophy (L-CMD), with severe defects in myonucleus integrity.

Scratching beneath the surface: Quantification of muscle architecture and myosin heavy chain content in the forelimbs of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys, Rodentia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

Functional morphology and biomechanics of the locomotor apparatus in the large Late Triassic carnivore Postosuchus kirkpatricki (Archosauria: Rauisuchidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional model is used to analyze the locomotor biomechanics of the large Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Postosuchus kirkpatricki. The study finds that it is more uncertain than previously concluded whether it was quadrupedal or bipedal, and plantigrade or digitigrade, but it clearly had locomotor specializations including large hindlimb

Allele‐specific silencing therapy for Dynamin 2‐related dominant centronuclear myopathy

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2017
Rapid advances in allele‐specific silencing by RNA interference established a strategy of choice to cure dominant inherited diseases by targeting mutant alleles.
