Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α in muscle links metabolism to inflammation [PDF]

, 2009
1. In higher eukaryotes, metabolism and immunity are tightly coupled. However, whereas evolutionary, a compromised immune response due to undernourishment has been the predominant problem, the inflammatory response to obesity and other life style ...

GsMTx4-blocked PIEZO1 channel promotes myogenic differentiation and alleviates myofiber damage in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Skeletal Muscle
Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a debilitating disease characterized by progressive muscle-wasting and a lack of effective therapy. Although the application of GsMTx4 has been shown to reduce muscle mass loss in dystrophic mice, the ...

An E box comprises a positional sensor for regional differences in skeletal muscle gene expression and methylation [PDF]

, 1999
To dissect the molecular mechanisms conferring positional information in skeletal muscles, we characterized the control elements responsible for the positionally restricted expression patterns of a muscle-specific transgene reporter, driven by regulatory

Mechanotransduction in skeletal muscle [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2007
Mechanical signals are critical to the development and maintenance of skeletal muscle, but the mechanisms that convert these shape changes to biochemical signals is not known. When a deformation is imposed on a muscle, changes in cellular and molecular conformations link the mechanical forces with biochemical signals, and the close integration of ...

mTORC2 affects the maintenance of the muscle stem cell pool

Skeletal Muscle, 2019
Background The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2), containing the essential protein rictor, regulates cellular metabolism and cytoskeletal organization by phosphorylating protein kinases, such as PKB/Akt, PKC, and SGK.

Human laminin-111 and laminin-211 protein therapy prevents muscle disease progression in an immunodeficient mouse model of LAMA2-CMD

Skeletal Muscle, 2020
Background Laminin-α2-related congenital muscular dystrophy (LAMA2-CMD) is a devastating genetic disease caused by mutations in the LAMA2 gene. These mutations result in progressive muscle wasting and inflammation leading to delayed milestones, and ...

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Mechanism of thyroid-hormone regulated expression of the SERCA genes in skeletal muscle: Implications for thermogenesis [PDF]

, 2001
Thyroid hormone increases the Ca2+-ATPase activity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in skeletal muscle, thereby increasing the energy-turnover associated with Ca2+-cycling during contraction and rest. The fast-muscle isoform of the Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA1)
