regulation of cell death and extracellular matrix, and thus supports that these pathways are relevant to how muscles are differentially susceptible to damage with lack of dystrophin. Comparison with ...

Skeletal muscles can convert chemical energy into mechanical energy to cause voluntary muscle contraction and movement. Skeletal muscle is composed of fascicles, bundled units of multiple muscle ...

Skeletal muscle is a subtype of muscle formed of bundles of elongated, cylindrical, multinucleate muscle fibres arranged in a striated pattern. Skeletal muscle is attached to the skeleton by ...

Altogether, myo-miRs appear to be mostly tumor suppressive and act mainly by regulating myogenesis and promoting muscle cell differentiation. Their downregulation in RMS compared to normal skeletal ...

hku.hk; Dr Helen H N Yan; yanhelen{at}hku.hk Objective Cell-cell (CC) and cell-matrix (CM) adhesions are essential for epithelial cell survival, yet dissociation-induced apoptosis is frequently ...

Chapel Hill): "The extracellular matrix (ECM) influences the growth, differentiation, motility, and morphologyof cells. In culture, most cells develop sites of adhesive interaction--known as focal ...

Summary: New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances. Scientists discovered that dendrites, the branch-like extensions of ...

The lower bound physically delivers a matrix stiffness that corresponds to cell-ECM de-adhesion and initiation of maximal invasiveness. Upon detailed description provided in Sec. 2.2.1 of the ...
