Altered cross-bridge properties in skeletal muscle dystrophies

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2014
Force and motion generated by skeletal muscle ultimately depends on the cyclical interaction of actin with myosin. This mechanical process is regulated by intracellular Ca2+ through the thin filament-associated regulatory proteins i.e.; troponins and ...

Myofibrillar myopathies [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Neurology, 2008
Myofibrillar myopathies represent a group of muscular dystrophies with a similar morphologic phenotype. They are characterized by a distinct pathologic pattern of myofibrillar dissolution associated with disintegration of the Z-disk, accumulation of myofibrillar degradation products, and ectopic expression of multiple proteins and sometimes congophilic
