Genetic variation important to skeletal muscle adaptation has relevance for sar- copenia in multiple contexts. First, the identification of particular genes that con- tribute to inter-individual variation in skeletal muscle adaptation provide insights into the bas[r]

Fast and accurate automatic segmentation of skeletal muscle cell image is crucial for the diagnosis of muscle related diseases, which extremely reduces the labor-intensive manual annotation. Recently, several methods have been presented for automatic muscle cell segmentation.
Nondepolarizing muscle relaxants Curare is the term for plant-derived ar- row poisons of South American natives. When struck by a curare-tipped arrow, an animal suffers paralysis of skeletal musculature within a short time after the poison spreads through[r]
The muscular system (part a), the following will be discussed in this chapter: Skeletal muscles: functional groups, naming skeletal muscles, muscle mechanics: arrangement of fascicles, muscle mechanics: lever systems, classes of lever systems,...
Chapter 26 - The muscular system. Bones and joints do not themselves produce movement. By alternating between contraction and relaxation, muscles cause bones and supported structures to move. The human body has more than 600 individual muscles. Although each muscle is a distinct structure, muscles a[r]

The multipotency of scaffolds is a new concept. Skeletal muscle acellular scaffolds (MAS) implanted at the interface of Tibialis Anterior/tibial bone and masseter muscle/mandible bone in a murine model were colonized by muscle cells near the host muscle and by bone-cartilaginous tissues near the hos[r]
The chaperone cvHsp appears to counter-act deleterious protein aggregation in the cytosol, sarcolemma and actomyosin apparatus of aged muscle (Doran et al. 2007c ). In addition, increased concentrations of the ubiquitous small heat shock protein aB-crystallin were al[r]
