Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a ubiquitous phenomenon in eukaryotic
cells′ life. Up to the 1990s of the past century, ROS have been solely considered as toxic …

Muscle loss during aging and disuse is a highly prevalent and disabling condition, but
knowledge about cellular pathways mediating muscle atrophy is still limited. Given the …

Memory is a process in which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. For vertebrates,
the modern view has been that it occurs only in the brain. This review describes a cellular …

Skeletal muscle inactivity is associated with a loss of muscle protein and reduced force-
generating capacity. This disuse-induced muscle atrophy results from both increased …

The skeletal muscle is an immunologically unique tissue. Leukocytes, virtually absent in
physiological conditions, are quickly recruited into the tissue upon injury and persist during …

Muscle fibres have different properties with respect to force, contraction speed, endurance,
oxidative/glycolytic capacity etc. Although adult muscle fibres are normally post‐mitotic with …

Maintenance of skeletal muscle is essential for health and survival. There are marked losses
of skeletal muscle mass as well as strength and physiological function under conditions of …

Recent loss-of-function studies show that satellite cell depletion does not promote
sarcopenia or unloading-induced atrophy, and does not prevent regrowth. Although …

Within the current paradigm of the myonuclear domain theory, it is postulated that a linear
relationship exists between muscle fibre size and myonuclear content. The myonuclear …

Vitamin D status of nonwestern immigrants in Europe was poor. Vitamin D status of
nonwestern populations in their countries of origin varied, being either similar to the …
