Mechanical stimuli increase skeletal muscle growth in a mammalian target of rapamycin
(mTOR)-and p70S6K-dependent manner. It has been proposed that costameric proteins at Z …

The α7β1-integrin is a heterodimeric transmembrane protein that adheres to laminin in the
extracellular matrix, representing a critical link that maintains structure in skeletal muscle. In …

The α7β1-integrin is a transmembrane adhesion protein that connects laminin in the
extracellular matrix (ECM) with actin in skeletal muscle fibers. The α7β1-integrin is highly …

α7β1-Integrin links laminin in the extracellular matrix with the cell cytoskeleton and therein
mediates transduction of mechanical forces into chemical signals. Muscle contraction and …

We tested the contribution of β2-integrins, which are important for normal function of
neutrophils and macrophages, to skeletal muscle hypertrophy after mechanical loading …

The α7β1-integrin is an adhesion molecule highly expressed in skeletal muscle that can
enhance regeneration in response to eccentric exercise. We have demonstrated that …

The α7β1 integrin is increased in skeletal muscle in response to injury-producing exercise,
and transgenic overexpression of this integrin in mice protects against exercise-induced …

2015. Purpose: The> 7A1 integrin is a transmembrane protein expressed in the skeletal
muscle that can link the actin cytoskeleton to the surrounding basal lamina. We have …

The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex maintains the integrity of skeletal muscle by
associating laminin in the extracellular matrix with the actin cytoskeleton. Several human …

Overloaded skeletal muscle undergoes dramatic shifts in gene expression, which alter both
the phenotype and mass. Molecular biology techniques employing both in vivo and in vitro …
