ASO-Mediated DNM2 Knockdown for Centronuclear Myopathies
Suzie Buono discusses the work she and her team have done to provide an example of treating a dominant disease by targeting both alleles, suggesting that this strategy may be applied to other dominant diseases.
How to Plan and Execute Contractile Measurements in Permeabilized Muscle Fibers
Experts discuss the A-to-Z of assessing muscle performance and contractile function in single muscle fibers.
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.
Studying Smooth and Striated Muscle Function Using Advanced Tissue Bath Systems
Aaron Stupica and Keshari Thakali discuss techniques tissue bath myography and present a unique case study looking at the effect of maternal obesity on offspring perivascular adipose tissue and vascular function.
