Skeletal muscle myofibers accrue hundreds of nuclei during post-natal development via fusion with activated satellite cells (myoblasts), which is absolutely reliant on expression of the muscle fusogen
Excessive or sustained glucocorticoid (GC) exposure causes muscle wasting. Paradoxically, moderate or transient GC exposure elicits ergogenic effects, evidenced by their widespread use as doping agent
Transcriptome profiling was performed on muscle biopsies from patients immediately before Total Knee Arthroplasty and two hours after TKA and tourniquet application. Overall design: RNA was isolated f
