Importance of trabecular anisotropy in finite element predictions of patellar strain after Total Knee Arthroplasty

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Adeliya Latypova

Patellar fracture and anterior knee pain remain major complications after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Patient-specific finite element (FE) models should help improve understanding of these complications through estimation of joint and bone mechanics. Ho ...

Enhanced Respiratory Chain Supercomplex Formation in Response to Exercise in Human Skeletal Muscle

Johan Auwerx, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Xu Wang, Pooja Jha, Chiara Greggio

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of multiple metabolic complications. Physical activity is known to increase mitochondrial content in skeletal muscle, counteracting age-related decline in muscle function and protecting against metabolic and cardiova ...

Lipidomics reveals diurnal lipid oscillations in human skeletal muscle persisting in cellular myotubes cultured in vitro

Jonathan Paz Montoya, Marc Moniatte, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Howard Riezman, Benjamin Dieter Weger

Circadian clocks play an important role in lipid homeostasis, with impact on various metabolic diseases. Due to the central role of skeletal muscle in whole-body metabolism, we aimed at studying muscle lipid profiles in a temporal manner. Moreover, it has ...

An unbiased silencing screen in muscle cells identifies miR-320a, miR-150, miR-196b, and miR-34c as regulators of skeletal muscle mitochondria! metabolism

Johan Auwerx, Pénélope Andreux, Xu Wang

Objective: Strategies improving skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity are commonly paralleled by improvements in (metabolic) health. We and others previously identified microRNAs regulating mitochondrial oxidative capacity, but data in skeletal muscle are ...

Time-domain algorithm for single-photon laser-Doppler flowmetry at large interoptode spacing in human bone

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

A new laser-Doppler flowmeter at large interoptode spacing, based on single-photon counting (single-photon laser-Doppler flowmetry [SP-LDF]) and allowing assessment of blood flow deep in bone tissue, is proposed and implemented. To exploit the advantages o ...
