An effect of dietary fatty acids upon the immune system was suggested by early
epidemiological studies of the incidence of multiple sclerosis and by the observations that …

Myoblast cell lines are grown and differentiated readily in cell culture. Two cell lines typically
used for investigating the growth and differentiation of muscle are the mouse cell line C2C12 …

Since the 1980's, novel functional roles of the neurohypophyseal hormones vasopressin
and oxytocin have emerged. Several studies have investigated the effects of these two …

Satellite cells are key cells for post-natal muscle growth and regeneration and they play a
central role in the search for therapies to treat muscle injuries. In this study the proliferation …

Airway fibroblasts have become a critical addition to all facets of structural lung tissue
changes such as in human asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but little is …

Static magnetic field (SMF) interacts with mammal skeletal muscle; however, SMF effects on
skeletal muscle cells are poorly investigated. The myogenic cell line L6, an in vitro model of …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) of decellularized organs possesses the characteristics of the
ideal tissue-engineering scaffold (ie, histocompatibility, porosity, degradability, non-toxicity) …

In L6 skeletal myoblasts induced to differentiate by Arg8-vasopressin treatment, a short-lived
lowering of ceramide levels was observed, followed by a long-lasting elevation that was …

Studies from our group and others have shown that in vitro somite myogenesis is regulated
by neural tube and notochord factors including Wnt, Sonic hedgehog (Shh), and basic …

We investigated the role of phospholipase D (PLD) and its product phosphatidic acid (PA) in
myogenic differentiation of cultured L6 rat skeletal myoblasts. Arginine-vasopressin (AVP), a …
