Skeletal muscle continuously adapts to changes in its mechanical environment through
modifications in gene expression and protein stability that affect its physiological function …

Declines in physical activity that accompany an admission to an intensive care unit (ICU)
represent a significant stress to the body. Decreases in physical activity have been …

We examined the function of IL-10 in regulating changes in macrophage phenotype during
muscle growth and regeneration following injury. Our findings showed that the Th1 cytokine …

Muscle injury or modified muscle use can stimulate muscle invasion by leucocytes that have
the potential to increase tissue damage or promote tissue growth and repair. In the present …

By improving an individual's functional capacity through increased physical activity before
an anticipated orthopaedic procedure, it seems reasonable to assume that the individual will …

In simulated or actual microgravity, human and animal postural muscles undergo substantial
atrophy: after about 270 days, the muscle mass attains a constant value of about 70% of the …

Previous observations have shown that neutrophil invasion precedes macrophage invasion
during muscle inflammation and that peak muscle injury is observed at the peak of ED1+ …

Support withdrawal has been currently considered as one of the main factors involved in
regulation of the human locomotor system. For last decades, several authors, including the …

Abstract Aim: Skeletal muscle interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) expression is induced by continuous
contraction, overload‐induced hypertrophy and during muscle regeneration. The loss of IL‐6 …

Skeletal muscle fibers have a unique capacity to adjust their metabolism and phenotype in
response to alternations in mechanical loading. Indeed, chronic mechanical loading leads to …
