Force loss in skeletal muscle exposed to eccentric contraction is often attributed to injury. We
show that EDL muscles from dystrophin-deficient mdx mice recover 65% of lost force within …

Centronuclear myopathy (CNM) is a congenital myopathy that is histopathologically
characterized by centrally located nuclei, central aggregation of oxidative activity, and type I …

Myosin binding protein-C slow (sMyBP-C) comprises a subfamily of cytoskeletal proteins
encoded by MYBPC1 that is expressed in skeletal muscles where it contributes to myosin …

Abstract Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by an expansion of CUG repeats in
DMPK mRNAs. This mutation affects alternative splicing through misregulation of RNA …

The vegetal polyphenol curcumin displays beneficial effects against skeletal muscle
derangement induced by oxidative stress, disuse or aging. Since oxidative stress and …

The dermal striated muscle panniculus carnosus (PC), prevalent in lower mammals with
remnants in humans, is highly regenerative, and whose function is purported to be linked to …

Eccentric contractions (ECCs) induce force loss in several skeletal muscles of dystrophin‐
deficient mice (mdx), with the exception of the soleus (Sol). The eccentric force: isometric …

We describe a technique for simultaneous quantification of the contractile forces and
cytosolic calcium dynamics of muscle fibers embedded in three-dimensional biopolymer …

The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) plays an important role in calcium homeostasis. SR
calcium mishandling is described in pathological conditions, such as myopathies. Here, we …

Mitochondria are double-membrane subcellular organelles with highly conserved metabolic
functions including ATP production. Mitochondria shapes change continually through the …
