Age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, sarcopenia, is associated with
physical frailty and increased risk of morbidity (chronic diseases), in addition to all-cause …

Muscle mass and strength are very important for exercise performance. Training-induced
musculoskeletal injuries usually require periods of complete immobilization to prevent any …

Skeletal muscle maintenance depends on motor innervation at neuromuscular junctions
(NMJs). Multiple mechanisms contribute to NMJ repair and maintenance; however muscle …

This review concentrates on the biology of long-term denervated muscle, especially as it
relates to newer techniques for restoring functional mass. After denervation, muscle passes …

The relative importance of muscle activity versus neurotrophic factors in the maintenance of
muscle differentiation has been greatly debated. Muscle biopsies from spinal cord injury …

Methods In the present study, we compared skeletal muscle fiber characteristics between
wheelchair-dependent young males with SCI (n= 8, 32±4 yr), healthy elderly males (n= 8 …

Background Medical management of the severe musculocutaneous radiation syndrome
involves surgical intervention with debridement of necrotic tissue. Even when skin excision …

Skeletal muscle function and viability are dependent upon intact innervation. Peripheral
nerve injury and muscle denervation cause muscle atrophy. Time to re‐innervation is one of …

Background. Urinary incontinence is a debilitating condition that affects primarily elderly
individuals. One major mechanism results from chronic denervation of the striated urethral …

This Special Issue presents some of the most recent studies on the skeletal muscle
denervation. Skeletal muscle innervation comprises stable and functional nerve interactions …
