Abstract
We tested this hypothesis by following the effect of siRNA AChE silencing on apoptotic markers and by determination of AChE level after staurosporine-induced apoptosis in cultured human myoblasts. Decreased apoptosis in siRNA AChE silenced myoblasts and increased AChE expression in staurosporine-tre...

Abstract
When observed under a microscope, skeletal muscle exhibits striations due to the highly organized arrangement of muscle proteins that interact with one another to induce muscle contraction. Muscle contraction requires transient increases in intracellular 'Ca(2+)' concentration. In this review, Ca(2+...

We hypothesized that the potent negative regulator of muscle mass, myostatin, could play a role in the muscle loss associated with ESLD. In this preliminary investigation, we measured myostatin levels in patients undergoing liver transplant evaluation, using a novel enzyme-linked immunosensitivity a...

Abstract
The allelic muscle disorders known as limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B), Miyoshi myopathy and distal anterior compartment myopathy result from defects in dysferlin-a sarcolemma-associated protein involved in membrane repair. Mutation screening in the dysferlin gene (DYSF) enabled the i...

Abstract
Over a 79-month period, 21 extremities (11 thighs and 10 calves) of 16 patients were imaged. Fourteen (88%) patients had type 2 diabetes, and two (12%) had type 1 diabetes. Four patients (25%) had disease in more than one location. In the thigh, the anterior compartment was involved in all patients....

Pain remains a major clinical challenge, severely afflicting around 6% of the population at any one time. Channelopathies that underlie monogenic human pain syndromes are of great clinical relevance, as cell surface ion channels are tractable drug targets. The recent discovery that loss-of-function...
