  2. 6. Plasticity of salamander skeletal muscle cells

    Author : Paula Borg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Regeneration is unevenly spread throughout the animal kingdom. Some of the invertebrates have a very high regenerative capacity but the capacity to replace lost or damaged tissues in mammals is limited. READ MORE

  4. 7. Adhesion molecules and synapse remodeling during motoneuron regeneration

    Author : Johan Zelano; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Spinal motoneurons integrate a vast synaptic input and are the final conveyors of motor commands to skeletal muscle. Motoneuron regeneration includes altered contacts between the motoneuron and several other cell types. READ MORE

  5. 8. The muscle cytoskeleton of mice and men : Structural remodelling in desmin myopathies

    Author : Lena Carlsson; Lars-Eric Thornell; Anders Arnér; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; desmin; nestin; synemin; paranemin; plectin; αB-crystallin; skeletal muscle; heart muscle; myotendinous junction; motor endplate; costamere; anatomi; Human Anatomy;

    Abstract : The muscle fibre cytoskeleton of skeletal and heart muscle cells is composed mainly of intermediate filaments (IFs), that surround the myofibrils and connect the peripheral myofibrils with the sarcolemma and the nuclear membrane. Desmin is the first muscle specific IF protein to be produced in developing muscles and is the main IF protein in mature muscles. READ MORE

  6. 9. The role of SUMO pathway in pathophsiology of skeletal muscle

    Author : Arvind Venkat Namuduri; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Skeletal muscles are highly evolved and essential organs comprising 40 % of the total human body weight. They are essential in maintaining posture, energy metabolism, secrete hormones and act as central reserves for amino acids. READ MORE

  7. 10. Effects of silicon on bone. Clinical observations and experimental cell studies

    Author : Catarina Magnusson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; silicon; osteoclast; pregnancy; lactation; bone metabolism; bone regeneration;

    Abstract : Bone health has a major impact on life quality. In Sweden, osteoporosis is a highly prevalent skeletal disease that primarily affects the elderly, causing fragility fractures and pain. READ MORE
