The relationship between muscle structure and function has been a matter of investigation
since the Renaissance period. Extensive use of anatomical dissections and the introduction …

Skeletal muscle has a remarkable ability to respond to different physical stresses. Loading
muscle through exercise, either anaerobic or aerobic, can lead to increases in muscle size …

Transcriptome wide changes in human skeletal muscle after acute (anabolic) and chronic
resistance exercise (RE) induced hypertrophy have been extensively determined in the …

Aims We assessed focal adhesion kinase (FAK) response to concentric (CON) vs eccentric
(ECC) resistance training (RT) at two vastus lateralis (VL) sites, and the relationships …

Spaceflight causes muscle wasting. The Sarcolab pilot study investigated two astronauts
with regards to plantar flexor muscle size, architecture, and function, and to the underlying …

Cardiomyocyte (CM) alignment with striated myofibril organization is developed during early
cardiac organogenesis. Previous work has successfully achieved in vitro CM alignment …

During the last decade, the striated muscle activator of Rho signaling (STARS), a muscle-
specific protein, has been proposed to play an increasingly important role in skeletal muscle …

Background: Paraquat (PQ) plays an important role in agricultural production due to its
highly effective herbicidal effect. However, it has led to multiple organ failure in those who …

Recent studies indicate that matrix metalloproteinases (MMP s) and critical linkage proteins
in the extracellular matrix (ECM) regulate skeletal muscle mass, although the effects of …

Reversal of fatty infiltration of pennate rotator cuff muscle after tendon release is hitherto
impossible. The administration of nandrolone starting at the time of tendon release prevents …
