In vivo metabolic studies in skeletal and cardiac muscle using ¹³C magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Cardiac and skeletal muscle function relies on a continuous energy production via fatty acid metabolism and mitochondrial oxidation of pyruvate, with a fine balance between substrate delivery and utilization. Changes in metabolism are increasingly being im ...

Effects of early and intensive neuro-rehabilitative treatment on muscle synergies in acute post-stroke patients: a pilot study

Silvestro Micera, Martina Coscia

Background: After a stroke, patients show significant modifications of neural control of movement, such as abnormal muscle co-activation, and reduced selectivity and modulation of muscle activity. Nonetheless, results reported in literature do not allow to ...

PHD2 regulates arteriogenic macrophages through TIE2 signalling

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Ferdinando Pucci

Occlusion of the main arterial route redirects blood flow to the collateral circulation. We previously reported that macrophages genetically modified to express low levels of prolyl hydroxylase domain protein 2 (PHD2) display an arteriogenic phenotype, whi ...

PDMS Microchannel Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface

Stéphanie Lacour, Katherine Marie Musick

We have fabricated a soft silicone structure to support the regeneration of a sciatic nerve. The device consists of 70 parallel (120 x 110 mu m(2)) channels through which axons extend and then reconnect to the muscles on the other side of the device. Throu ...

How the selection of muscles influences their synergies? A preliminary study using real data

Silvestro Micera, Elvira Pirondini, Andrea Crema, Martina Coscia, Matteo Mancuso

Muscle synergies have been proposed as building blocks that simplify the construction of movements, and as a method to study motor behavior. However, the pre-processing of the EMG signals and the factorization algorithm may impact on their extraction and m ...

In vivo enzymatic activity of acetylCoA synthetase in skeletal muscle revealed by (13)C turnover from hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]acetate to [1-(13)C]acetylcarnitine

Rolf Gruetter, Mor-Miri Mishkovsky, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Tian Cheng, Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen

BACKGROUND: Acetate metabolism in skeletal muscle is regulated by acetylCoA synthetase (ACS). The main function of ACS is to provide cells with acetylCoA, a key molecule for numerous metabolic pathways including fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis and the ...

An acetylation rheostat for the control of muscle energy homeostasis

Johan Auwerx, Keir Joe Menzies

In recent years, the role of acetylation has gained ground as an essential modulator of intermediary metabolism in skeletal muscle. Imbalance in energy homeostasis or chronic cellular stress, due to diet, aging, or disease, translate into alterations in th ...

A Subpopulation of Smooth Muscle Cells, Derived from Melanocyte-Competent Precursors, Prevents Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Friedrich Beermann

Background: Patent ductus arteriosus is a life-threatening condition frequent in premature newborns but also present in some term infants. Current mouse models of this malformation generally lead to perinatal death, not reproducing the full phenotypic spec ...

Significant Molecular and Systemic Adaptations after Repeated Sprint Training in Hypoxia

Jean-Marc Vesin, Grégoire Millet

While intermittent hypoxic training (IHT) has been reported to evoke cellular responses via hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) but without substantial performance benefits in endurance athletes, we hypothesized that repeated sprint training in hypoxia could ...
