1. Protein expression and modifications in denervated atrophic and hypertrophic skeletal muscle
Abstract : Skeletal muscle comprises about 45% of the total body weight. It is the largest tissue in the body, vital for maintaining posture, produce locomotion, breathing but also functions as a large reservoir of proteins. READ MORE

2. Signaling factors related to atrophy and hypertrophy in denervated skeletal muscle
Abstract : The human body consists of about 40 % skeletal muscles which control the body’s movement, ability to stand up, force generation, locomotion, heat production and are also the body’s protein reservoir. Muscle mass is controlled by the relationship between protein synthesis and protein degradation. READ MORE

3. Intensive care Muscle Wasting and Weakness : Underlying Mechanisms, Muscle Specific Differences and a Specific Intervention Strategy
Abstract : The intensive care unit (ICU) condition, i.e., immobilisation, sedation and mechanical ventilation, often results in severe muscle wasting and weakness as well as a specific acquired myopathy, i.e. READ MORE

4. Old-age muscle atrophy : cellular mechanisms and behavioral consequenses
Abstract : With advancing age, humans and rodents alike lose about one third of the skeletal muscle mass. A process referred to as old-age muscle atrophy or sarcopenia. READ MORE

5. Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Acute Quadriplegic Myopathy : Studies in Experimental Animal Models and Intensive Care Unit Patients
Abstract : The combination of a severe systemic illness, corticosteroids, and neuromuscular blocking agents in patients on the mechanical ventilator often results in a condition known as Acute Quadriplegic Myopathy (AQM). While severe weakness of all spinal nerve innervated muscles is known to be a significant clinical characteristic of the disease, this symptom is typically not recognized until the disease has progressed to an advanced stage.
