Myofibres serve as the functional unit for locomotion, with the sarcomere as fundamental
subunit. Running the entire length of this structure are hundreds of myonuclei, located at the …

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 …

The peripheral nerve injury (PNI) affects the morphology of the whole locomotor apparatus,
which can reach the myotendinous junction (MTJ) interface. In the injury condition, the …

The mdx mouse is an experimental model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a genetic
disorder characterized by progressive muscular degeneration which affects the oral cavity …

Several studies have shown that non-pharmacologic treatments such as
photobiomodulation (PBMT) and swimming (SW) have been increasingly used as adjuncts …

The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is a highly specialized region of the locomotor apparatus.
Here, we investigated the ultrastructural and molecular effects in the MTJ region after static …
