Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life‐saving intervention applied to critically ill patients. A common consequence of MV is ventilator‐induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD), which is characterized by significant diaphragm atrophy and reduced contractile function. Older patients who receive MV are more likely to develop VIDD, have worse recovery,

Mitophagy in skeletal muscle: Impact of ageing, exercise and disuse
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Skeletal muscle plays an important role in whole‐body health, quality of life and regulation of metabolism. The maintenance of a healthy mitochondrial pool is imperative for the preservation of skeletal muscle quality and is mediated through mitochondrial quality control consisting of mitochondrial turnover mediated by a balance between ...

Measurement and control of mechanics of cardiac trabeculae secured by light‐curable hydrogel
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Isolated cardiac trabeculae are small heart muscle tissue preparations, which have been widely used in in vitro studies of mechanics and energetics function of cardiac muscle. Current instruments for such experimentation often (1) involve delicate mounting of the muscle, (2) constrain investigations to one muscle at a time, and thus (3) limit ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Using a multiscale computational model of left ventricular electromechanics, we investigated how sarcomere dynamics influence the end‐systolic pressure‐volume (ESPV) relationship in ejecting beats compared to isovolumetric beats.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend In rat and human adult ventricular myocytes, acute hyperglyceaemia (Glucose) causes increased glucose uptake (via GLUT) leading to O‐GlcNAcylation of CaMKII at Ser280, such that CaMKII activates NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) to increase cytosolic reactive oxygen species (ROS). That perturbs the ROS to Antioxidant (AntiOx) balance.

Insights from electromechanical simulations to assess omecamtiv mecarbil efficacy in heart failure
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Impact of Omecamtiv Mecarbil (OM) on in‐silico models of heart failure. A mathematical electromechanical model of human ventricular tissue is used to simulate the effects of OM in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend In this study, we used mathematical modelling to explore the effect of diabetes on muscle mechanoenergetics. Our parameterisation of cross‐bridge models using data from non‐diabetic and diabetic human atrial tissues revealed lower values for cross‐bridge stiffness, detachment rates, attachment rates and lower ATP sensitivity in ...
