  2. 1. The role of Six1 in muscle progenitor cells and the establishment of fast-twitch muscle fibres

    Author : Hanna Nord; Jonas von Hofsten; Freek van Eeden; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Myogenesis; zebrafish; muscle fibre; patterning; fmyhc; myl1; Six1; Pax7;

    Abstract : Myogenesis is the process of skeletal muscle tissue formation where committed muscle progenitor cells differentiate into skeletal muscle fibres. Depending on the instructive cues the muscle progenitor cells receive they will differentiate into specific fibre types with different properties. READ MORE

  4. 2. Satellite cells in human skeletal muscle : molecular identification quantification and function

    Author : Mona Lindström; Lars-Eric Thornell; Hannu Kalimo; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; satellite cell markers; NCAM; Pax7; MyoD; myogenin; DLK1 FA1; c-Met; human skeletal muscle; immunohistochemistry; muscle growth; muscle hypertrophy; Morphology; cell biology; pathology; Morfologi; cellbiologi; patologi; anatomi; Human Anatomy;

    Abstract : Skeletal muscle satellite cells located between the plasma membrane and the basal lamina of muscle fibres, could for many years, only be studied in situ by electron microscopy. The introduction of immunohistochemistry and the discovery of molecular markers of satellite cells then made them accessible for light microscopic studies and a wealth of information is today available.

  5. 3. Extraocular Muscles in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

    Author : Anton Tjust; Fatima Pedrosa Domellöf; Mona Lindström; Thomas Brännström; Eva Hedlund; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ALS; EOM; Satellite cells; innervation; neuromuscular disease; neurodegenerative disease; anatomi; Human Anatomy;

    Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease of motor neurons characterized by muscle paralysis and death within 3-5 years of onset. However, due to unknown mechanisms, the extraocular muscles (EOMs) remain remarkably unaffected. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular mechanisms of salamander limb regeneration

    Author : Gonçalo M Brito; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Salamanders, like newts and axolotls, stand out among adult vertebrates for their outstanding capacity to regenerate whole body parts and restore complex structures upon injury. One of the best-known examples is their ability to fully regenerate a functional limb. READ MORE

  7. 5. Contracting muscle for regeneration : myogenic dedifferentiation in limb progenitor cell formation

    Author : Sara Lööf; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The urodele amphibians, such as newts and axolotls, are unique among vertebrates since they regenerate their limbs, tail, jaws and part of their heart and CNS as adults. After amputation of a newt limb, regeneration proceeds by the reversal of differentiation of tissues in the limb stump. READ MORE
