Aging Skeletal Muscle Plasticity in Exercise and Injury
Sarcopenia—progressive loss of muscle mass and strength—diminishes quality of life and longevity. In addition to progressive atrophy, older adults exhibit impaired regeneration after muscular injury. Activity of muscle stem cells, termed satellite cells, is dysregulated with aging which impairs …

Impacts of microRNAs on Skeletal Muscle Protein Synthesis and Mitochondrial Quality
… -133, and -206 are under the control of skeletal muscle promoters and affect muscle plasticity and metabolic health. A detailed review on the generation and processing of miRNAs with a view to skeletal muscle brings up intriguing connections in the transcriptional connections between multiple …

Modulation of exercise-induced gene expression in human skeletal muscle by exercise intensity, training status and short-term endurance training
… modulation of gene expression in human skeletal muscle under varying physiological conditions, including divergent exercise intensities, untrained and trained muscle, and short-term endurance training. Compared to low intensity isocaloric exercise (400 kcal, 40%VO2peak), a single bout of high …

Effect of Oxygen-Limiting Tidal Conditions on Muscle Metabolism and Structure in the Giant Acorn Barnacle, Balanus nubilus
<p>Crustacean muscle fibers are some of the largest cells in the animal kingdom, with fiber diameters in the giant acorn barnacle (<em>Balanus nubilus</em>) exceeding 3 mm. Sessile animals with extreme muscle sizes and that live in the hypoxia-inducing intertidal zone – like <em>B. nubilus</em> – …

Growth factors in extraocular muscles: effects on contractile properties
Extraocular muscles are a unique group of skeletal muscles, with distinct biological properties, including specialized myofiber types, a unique transverse and longitudinal organization of myofibers, continued muscle plasticity and the retention of activated progenitor cells in adult normal muscles. …
