Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive disease caused by the loss of
function of the protein dystrophin. This protein contributes to the stabilisation of striated cells …

Histopathology is widely used to analyze clinical biopsy specimens and tissues from pre-
clinical models of a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Histological assessment relies on …

Skeletal muscle has the remarkable ability to regenerate. However, with age and disease
muscle strength and function decline. Myofiber size, which is affected by injury and disease …

Skeletal muscle is comprised of a heterogeneous population of muscle fibers which can be
classified by their metabolic and contractile properties (fiber “types”). Fiber type is a primary …

Increasing studies report that many natural products can participate in formation of muscle
fibers. This study aimed to investigate the effect of lycopene on skeletal muscle-fiber type in …

A mechanistic understanding of cell‐autonomous skeletal muscle changes after injury can
lead to novel interventions to improve functional recovery in an aged population. However …

Background Manual analysis of cross-sectional area, fiber-type distribution, and total and
centralized nuclei in skeletal muscle cross sections is tedious and time consuming …

Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third cause of death
worldwide. COPD is characterised by dyspnoea, limited exercise tolerance, and muscle …
