Intermediate filament (IF) proteins are critical regulators in health and disease. The
discovery of hundreds of mutations in IF genes and posttranslational modifications has been …

The forced lengthening of an activated skeletal muscle has been termed an eccentric
contraction (EC). This review highlights the mechanically unique nature of the EC and …

Background Desmin filament proteins interlink the contractile myofibrillar apparatus with
mitochondria, nuclei and the sarcolemma. Mutations in the human desmin gene cause …

Living organisms have the capacity to sense both nutrients and immune signals in order to
adapt their metabolism to the needs, and both metabolic inflexibility and exacerbated …

Knowing the ultrastructure of skeletal muscle is critical to understand how it works under
normal situation and the disorders caused by extreme or pathological conditions. Sarcomere …

Purpose: To investigate the effect of absence of desmin on the extraocular muscles (EOMs)
with focus on the structure and composition of the cytoskeleton. Methods: The distribution of …

While α‐actin isoforms predominate in adult striated muscle, skeletal muscle‐specific
knockouts (KOs) of nonmuscle cytoplasmic βcyto‐or γcyto‐actin each cause a mild, but …

Music has a long history of healing or mitigating physical and mental illness in the clinical
setting. We aimed to test changes in behavioral cognition and serum proteomics in rats …

Background: Bladder cancer (BC) has remained as one of the most challenging issues in
medicine. The aim of this study was to investigate the differential network analysis of stages …

In the mitochondria, there are ongoing processes essential to the survival of cells associated
with the production of energy ending in the oxidative phosphorylation and the formation of …
