The loss of muscle strength and increased injury rate in aging skeletal muscle has
previously been attributed to loss of muscle protein (cross-sectional area) and/or decreased …

Background & Aims Hepatic stellate cell activation is a wound-healing response to liver
injury. However, continued activation of stellate cells during chronic liver damage causes …

Swimming performance is viewed as a vital characteristic determining survival in many fish
in the natural environment. However, a growing number of studies show that swimming …

The importance of mechanical activity in the regulation of muscle progenitors during chick
development has not been investigated. We show that immobilization decreases NOTCH …

MLP (muscle LIM protein)-deficient mice count among the first mouse models for dilated
cardiomyopathy (DCM), yet the exact role of MLP in cardiac signalling processes is still …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous in the environment as components
of fossil fuels and by-products of combustion. These multi-ring chemicals differentially …

Structural proteins play critical roles in the food quality, especially texture properties, of sea
cucumbers and their products. Most of the previous studies on sea cucumbers focused on …

Striated muscle responds to mechanical overload by rapidly up-regulating the expression of
the cardiac ankyrin repeat protein, CARP, which then targets the sarcomere by binding to …

Background Maternal nutrition during different stages of pregnancy can induce significant
changes in the structure, physiology, and metabolism of the offspring. These changes could …

This study describes the muscle transcriptome profile of Bandur breed, a consumer
favoured, meat type sheep of India. The transcriptome was compared to the less desirable …
