Functional and clinical significance of skeletal muscle architecture

Richard L. Lieber, Jan Frid�n · 1 Jan 2000

Skeletal muscle architecture is the structural property of whole muscles that dominates their function. This review describes the basic architectural properties of human upper and lower extremity muscles. The designs of various muscle groups in humans and other species are analyzed from the point of view of optimizing function. Muscle fiber arrangement and motor unit…

Myogenic cells derived from rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells exposed to 5‐azacytidine

Shigeyuki Wakitani, Tomoyuki Saito, Arnold I. Caplan · 1 Dec 1995

The compound 5-azacytidine has been previously shown to convert cells of the rat embryonic fibroblastic cell line, C3H/10T1/2, into myoblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes. Rare, resident cells of bone marrow and periosteum, referred to as mesenchymal stem cells, have been shown to differentiate into a number of mesenchymal phenotypes including bone, cartilage, and adipocytes. Rat bone…

Changes in muscle contractile properties and neural control during human muscular fatigue

B. Bigland‐Ritchie, J. J. Woods · 1 Dec 1984

The factors limiting force production and exercise endurance time have been briefly described, together with some of the changes occurring at various sites within the muscle and central nervous system. Evidence is presented that, in fatigue of sustained maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) executed by well-motivated subjects, the reduction in force generating capacity need not be…

Structure and function of the skeletal muscle extracellular matrix

Allison R. Gillies, Richard L. Lieber · 9 Mar 2011

The skeletal muscle extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in muscle fiber force transmission, maintenance, and repair. In both injured and diseased states, ECM adapts dramatically, a property that has clinical manifestations and alters muscle function. Here we review the structure, composition, and mechanical properties of skeletal muscle ECM; describe the cells that contribute…

Interobserver agreement in the assessment of muscle strength and functional abilities in Guillain‐Barré syndrome

R. P. Kleyweg, F.G.A. van der Meché, Paul Schmitz · 1 Nov 1991

In studies of Guillain-Barré syndrome, functional deficit is usually assessed according to a functional scale consisting of several categories. The level of interobserver agreement in this scoring method is not known; furthermore, this method seems to be insensitive when applied to bedridden and artificially ventilated patients. We have developed an additional score (MRC-sumscore), reflecting muscle…

Muscle & Nerve template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Muscle & Nerve format?
