Skeletal muscle fibers are classified into fiber types, in particular, slow twitch versus fast
twitch. Muscle fiber types are generally defined by the particular myosin heavy chain …

Human life expectancy has markedly increased over the past hundred years. Consequently,
the percentage of elderly people is increasing. Aging and sarcopenic changes in skeletal …

Background Increased cardiometabolic risk (CMR) is documented in obese and non‐obese
adolescents with low muscular fitness. However, the association of low muscle mass (LMM) …

During fast movements in vertebrates, slow motor units are thought to be deactivated due to
the mechanical demands of muscle contraction, but the associated neuronal mechanisms …

Muscle regeneration is essential for vertebrate muscle homeostasis and recovery after
injury. During regeneration, muscle stem cells differentiate into myocytes, which then fuse …

Although most fishes are ectothermic, some, including tuna and billfish, achieve endothermy
through specialized heat producing tissues that are modified muscles. How these heat …

Spinal motor neurons and the peripheral muscle fibers they innervate form discrete motor
units that execute movements of varying force and speed. Subsets of spinal motor neurons …

While oxidative stress pathways are associated with a wide variety of tissue pathologies, its
applications for evaluating and discerning ecological risks are limited. This study seeks to …

Recent spinal cord literature abounds with descriptions of genetic preprogramming and the
molecular control of circuit formation. In this paper, we explore to what extent circuit …

The zebrafish has emerged as a very relevant animal model for probing the pathophysiology
of human skeletal muscle disorders. This vertebrate animal model displays a startle …
