Extracellular matrix (ECM) is an essential component of skeletal muscle. It provides a
framework structure that holds myofibers and blood capillaries and nerves supplying the …

Food ingredients commonly undergo heat treatment. Meat, in particular, is typically
consumed after some form of heating, such as boiling or roasting. Heating of meat can …

The dystrophin glycoprotein complex (DGC) is a specialization of cardiac and skeletal
muscle membrane. This large multicomponent complex has both mechanical stabilizing and …

Contact guidance can promote cell alignment and is thus widely employed in tissue
regeneration. In particular, skeletal muscle consists of long fibrous bundles of multinucleated …

Non‐technical summary The force developed by a single fibre in frog muscles is transmitted
laterally to the muscle surface with little or no loss. To demonstrate this phenomenon in …

Cachexia contributes to nearly a third of all cancer deaths, yet the mechanisms underlying
skeletal muscle wasting in this syndrome remain poorly defined. We report that tumor …

Preparation of three-dimensional (3D) micropatterned porous scaffolds remains a great
challenge for engineering of highly organized tissues such as skeletal muscle tissue and …

Aim: To discuss the progress of extracellular matrix (ECM) characteristics, mitochondrial
homeostasis, and their potential crosstalk in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia, a geriatric …

Skeletal muscle (SM) comprises around 40% of total body weight and is among the most
important plastic tissues, as it supports skeletal development, controls body temperature …

Mechanical force is generated within skeletal muscle cells by contraction of specialized
myofibrillar proteins. This paper explores how the contractile force generated at the …
