RRSSC – Rodent Glucose Clamp Workshop
This workshop is essential for those looking to master the glucose clamp technique in awake and behaving mice and rats. These models allow for glucose clamping using instruments such as Instech's euglycemic clamp.
The MRL/MpJ Mouse Strain Is Not Protected From Muscle Atrophy And Weakness After Rotator Cuff Tear
The MRL/MpJ mouse strain has been touted as a "superhealer" although different tissues have previously displayed different levels of healing ability. We sought to test that ability in skeletal muscle.
ULK2 is Essential for Degradation of Ubiquitinated Protein Aggregates and Homeostasis in Skeletal Muscle
Jordan Fuqua discusses how autophagy and proteolytic processes are regulated in skeletal muscle, specifically looking at ULK1 and ULK2 and their roles in maintaining skeletal muscle homeostasis, morphology, protein aggregate degradation and autophagy.
