Importantly, a single treatment of injured muscles with PGE2 dramatically accelerates muscle repair and recovery of strength. Skeletal muscles harbor quiescent muscle-specific stem cells (MuSCs) ...

Abstract: A Concept map is a pedagogical tool to help students understand the concepts and identify their misconceptions. Grading a concept map is a time-consuming manual task causing a severe ...

imperial.ac.uk Background Skeletal muscle weakness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) carries a poor prognosis, therefore a non-invasive marker of this process could be useful. Reduced ...

Mitochondria are fascinating organelles regulating many critical cellular processes for skeletal muscle physiology. Indeed, they play central roles in muscle cell metabolism, energy supply, the ...

To overcome these disadvantages, a new teaching strategy, named as “concept map-based anchored teaching”, was proposed in this paper. With the anchor as core, students launched inquiry learning. To ...

Exercise intolerance is a hallmark of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and is characterized by skeletal muscle (SkM) dysfunction with impaired oxidative capacity. To maintain ...

Balance in protein turnover influences the regulation of skeletal muscle mass (Schiaffino et al., 2013); it increases through anabolic processes and decreases owing to muscle wasting (as in diabetes ...
