The Sarcomere and Sarcomerogenesis

open access: yesAdvances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 2008
Striated muscle owes its name to the microscopic appearance, caused by the longitudinal alignment of thousands of highly ordered contractile units, the sarcomeres. The assembly (and disassembly) of these multiprotein complexes (sarcomere assembly or sarcomerogenesis) follows ordered pathways, which are regulated on the transcriptional, translational ...

A multiscale model for eccentric and concentric cardiac growth through sarcomerogenesis

open access: yesJournal of Theoretical Biology, 2010
We present a novel computational model for maladaptive cardiac growth in which kinematic changes of the cardiac chambers are attributed to alterations in cytoskeletal architecture and in cellular morphology. We adopt the concept of finite volume growth characterized through the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into an elastic ...

Effects of Distraction on Muscle Length: Mechanisms Involved in Sarcomerogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2002
Although a great deal of interest has been given to understanding the mechanisms involved in regulating the radial growth that occurs because of resistance training, much less has been given to studying the longitudinal growth of skeletal muscle that occurs because of passive stretch.

Regulation of extracellular matrix elements and sarcomerogenesis in response to different periods of passive stretching in the soleus muscle of rats [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
AbstractStretching is a common method used to prevent muscle shortening and improve limited mobility. However, the effect of different time periods on stretching-induced adaptation of the extracellular matrix and its regulatory elements have yet to be investigated.
