  • In these models, efferocytosis removes cellular debris while basal laminae persist to provide guidance during myofiber and microvessel regeneration. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Furthermore, we have successfully predicted and validated that the transcription factor myogenic differentiation (MYOD) binds to the MEG3 core promoter though utilizing chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) and luciferase reporter assays. (bvsalud.org)
  • We isolated both damaged and intact myofibers from a mouse model of muscular dystrophy using laser-capture microdissection and found that the levels of myoferlin mRNA and protein were increased in damaged myofibers. (biologists.com)
  • In the present study, we demonstrate that IRE1α (also known as ERN1) and its downstream target, XBP1, are activated in skeletal muscle of mice upon injury. (elifesciences.org)
  • Myofiber-specific ablation of IRE1α dampens Notch signaling and canonical NF-κB pathway in skeletal muscle of adult mice. (elifesciences.org)
  • We reported that LIPUS therapy at intensity of 60mW/cm 2 exhibited the most significant differences in functional recovery of contusion-injured muscle in mice. (ijbs.com)
  • Whilst vector administration in these studies was conducted with pharmacological interventions or in neonatal animals, rAAV8 vectors appear more efficient at crossing the blood vessel barrier and transducing heart and skeletal muscle of adult mice and hamsters (Wang et al. (justia.com)
  • As such, the findings have important implications beyond understanding muscle biology. (robert-gorter.info)
  • Our current running hypothesis is that the positive growth factors produced by hESCs trigger injured muscle to initiate and maintain regeneration, the TGF-beta inhibitors produced by hESCs reduce the TGF-beta signaling, and the combination assures the robust regeneration of muscle. (ca.gov)
  • Loin muscle chemical composition showed significant differences between genetic types in intramuscular fat content (6.1% vs. 4.3% in IB and DUxIB animals, respectively, P = 0.009) and in saturated ( P = 0.019) and monounsaturated fatty acid proportions ( P = 0.044). (biomedcentral.com)
  • A bioengineered skeletal muscle construct that mimics structural and functional characteristics of native skeletal muscle is a promising therapeutic option to treat extensive muscle defect injuries. (nature.com)
  • Aging is related to changes in muscle quantity and quality [ 1 ], both of which have important implications for functional performance [ 2 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • Dilated cardiomyopathy is a progressive disease of heart muscle that is characterized by ventricular chamber enlargement and contractile dysfunction. (medscape.com)
  • Androgens are the main physiologic anabolic steroid hormones and normal testosterone levels are necessary for a range of developmental and biological processes, including maintenance of muscle mass. (frontiersin.org)
  • This review article aims to discuss the impact of aging on skeletal muscle regeneration and NMJs remodeling and will highlight the most recent insights about the role of semaphorins in this context. (biomed.news)
  • LIPUS at intensity of 60mW/cm 2 could significantly promoted skeletal muscle regeneration through shifting macrophage phenotype from M1 to M2. (ijbs.com)
  • rAAV1 vectors have a similar capsid sequence and were successfully applied in systemic gene delivery to vital muscles of DMD and CMD mouse models and efficiently ameliorated the dystrophic phenotype (Qiao et al. (justia.com)
  • Evidence suggests that loss of muscle fiber size and number accelerates after the fifth decade of life [ 10 ]. (hindawi.com)
