Adult skeletal muscle in mammals is a stable tissue under normal circumstances but has
remarkable ability to repair after injury. Skeletal muscle regeneration is a highly orchestrated …

Skeletal muscles are essential for vital functions such as movement, postural support,
breathing, and thermogenesis. Muscle tissue is largely composed of long, postmitotic …

Skeletal muscle is composed of multinucleated fibres, formed after the differentiation and
fusion of myoblast precursors. Skeletal muscle atrophy and hypertrophy refer to changes in …

The molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle maintenance involve interplay
between multiple signaling pathways. Under normal physiological conditions, a network of …

Occupational and environmental exposures to metals are associated with the development
of various cancers. Although carcinogenesis caused by metals has been intensively …

Transcriptional regulation contributes to the maintenance of pluripotency, self-renewal and
differentiation in embryonic cells and in stem cells. Therefore, control of gene expression at …

Skeletal muscle is a complex, versatile tissue composed of a large variety of functionally
diverse fiber types. The overall properties of a muscle largely result from a combination of …

Skeletal Muscle: Form and Function, Second Edition, provides readers with a detailed
understanding of the different facets of muscle physiology. Meticulously researched and …

Tissue engineering is a promising approach to repair tendon and muscle when natural
healing fails. Biohybrid constructs obtained after cells' seeding and culture in dedicated …

Muscular dystrophies comprise a diverse group of genetic disorders that lead to muscle
wasting and, in many instances, premature death. Many mutations that cause muscular …
