Skeletal muscles are essential for vital functions such as movement, postural support,
breathing, and thermogenesis. Muscle tissue is largely composed of long, postmitotic …

With the reignited push for manned spaceflight and the development of companies focused
on commercializing spaceflight, increased human ventures into space are inevitable …

In 2008, we published an article arguing that the age-related loss of muscle strength is only
partially explained by the reduction in muscle mass and that other physiologic factors …

OBJECTIVES: This review aims to define the concept of neuromuscular fatigue and to
present the current knowledge of the central and peripheral factors at the origin of this …

Skeletal muscle tissue engineering (SMTE) aims to repair or regenerate defective skeletal
muscle tissue lost by traumatic injury, tumor ablation, or muscular disease. However, two …

The maintenance of skeletal muscle mass plays a critical role in health and quality of life.
One of the most potent regulators of skeletal muscle mass is mechanical loading, and …

Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is typically considered to be a slow process. However, this is
partly because the time course for hypertrophy has not been thoroughly examined. The …

Reasons for the progressive age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, namely
sarcopenia, are complex. Few studies describe sarcopenia in mice, although this species is …

Although much of the literature on neuromuscular changes with aging has focused on loss
of muscle mass and isometric strength, deficits in muscle power are more pronounced with …

Aging is a multi-factorial process that ultimately induces a decline in our physiological
functioning, causing a decreased health-span, quality of life and independence for older …
