Only in recent years, thanks to a precision medicine-based approach, have treatments
tailored to the sex of each patient emerged in clinical trials. In this regard, both striated …

Skeletal muscle is a highly complex tissue that is studied by scientists from a wide spectrum
of disciplines, including motor control, biomechanics, exercise science, physiology, cell …

Previous studies suggest that sex differences in lipid metabolism exist with females
demonstrating a higher utilization of lipids during exercise, which is mediated partly by …

Obesity is a worrisomely escalating public health problem globally and one of the leading
causes of morbidity and mortality from noncommunicable disease. The epidemiological link …

As an organ system, skeletal muscle is essential for the generation of energy that underpins
muscle contraction, plays a critical role in controlling energy balance and insulin-dependent …

Background Sex differences in microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles have been found
across multiple tissues. Skeletal muscle is one of the most sex-biased tissues of the body …

Neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) are a special type of chemical synapse that transmits
electrical stimuli from motor neurons (MNs) to their innervating skeletal muscle to induce a …

The myotendinous junction (MTJ) acts as a bridge between muscle and tendon; yet its high
stiffness relative to muscle fibers renders the tissue susceptible to injuries due to eccentric …

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common circulatory problem in lower extremities, and
the murine ischemic model is used to reproduce human PAD. To compare strain differences …

Abstract Hypoxia‐inducible factor (HIF)‐1α is continuously synthesized and degraded in
normoxia. During hypoxia, HIF1α stabilization restricts cellular/mitochondrial oxygen …
