Resistance training generally increases skeletal muscle hypertrophy, whereas aging is
associated with a loss in muscle mass. Interestingly, select studies suggest that aging, as …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal disease of striated muscle deterioration. A
unique therapeutic approach for DMD is the use of synthetic membrane stabilizers to protect …

Due to formation of fibrosis and the loss of contractile muscle tissue, severe muscle injuries
often result in insufficient healing marked by a significant reduction of muscle force and …

The purpose of this study was to determine if variables calculated from diffusion tensor
imaging (DTI) would serve as a reliable marker of damage after a muscle strain injury in …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most prevalent neuromuscular disease
diagnosed in childhood. It is a progressive and wasting disease, characterized by a …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of repeated bouts of exercise on the
cytoskeletal proteins titin, desmin, and dystrophin. Rats were made to run downhill for 90 …

[Purpose] The present study aimed to determine the changes in physical and balance
performance following exercise-induced muscle damage using a sport-specific …

We have investigated the adaptations of the cytoskeletal proteins desmin and dystrophin in
relationship to known muscular adaptations of resistance exercise. We measured desmin …

Block copolymers can be synthesized in an array of architectures and compositions to yield
diverse chemical properties. The triblock copolymer Poloxamer 188 (P188), the family …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Does eccentric exercise leading to
prolonged knee‐extensor torque depression also result in a prolonged loss of knee …
