Advanced Neuromuscular Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, uses a mix of biochemistry,
molecular biology, neurophysiology, and muscle physiology to provide a synthesis of …

Lovering RM, Roche JA, Bloch RJ, De Deyne PG. Recovery of function in skeletal muscle
following 2 different contraction-induced injuries. OBJECTIVE: To determine if the …

We studied the response of dysferlin-null and control skeletal muscle to large-and small-
strain injuries to the ankle dorsiflexors in mice. We measured contractile torque and counted …

In patients with muscle injury or muscle disease, assessment of muscle damage is typically
limited to clinical signs, such as tenderness, strength, range of motion, and more recently …

Intermediate filaments, composed of desmin and of keratins, play important roles in linking
contractile elements to each other and to the sarcolemma in striated muscle. Our previous …

Mechanical forces regulate muscle development, hypertrophy, and homeostasis. Force-
transmitting structures allow mechanotransduction at the sarcolemma, cytoskeleton, and …

Introduction: Ischemia‐reperfusion injury (I‐R) in skeletal muscle requires timely treatment.
Methods: Rodent models of I‐R injury were used to test the efficacy of recombinant human …

Though preclinical models of type 1 diabetes (T1D) exhibit impaired muscle regeneration,
this has yet to be investigated in humans with T1D. Here, we investigated the impact of …

Diseases of striated muscle linked to intermediate filament (IF) proteins are associated with
defects in the organization of the contractile apparatus and its links to costameres, which …

Key points Desmin, similar to dystrophin, is associated with costameric structures bridging
sarcomeres to the extracellular matrix. Deletion of the desmin gene in mdx mice [double …
