FOXK2 was identified as a novel pathogenic gene for congenital myopathy associated with ptosis and was shown to play a ...

The team used the model, which was described in the journal Scientific ... showed the development of muscle fibre structures called sarcomeres and had raised levels of a skeletal muscle protein called ...

In 2021, research from Kumar's lab published in the ELife journal described the role of the IRE1α/XBP1 signaling axis in regeneration of healthy skeletal muscle after acute injury and in models ...

The musculoskeletal system provides structural support, enabling movement such as walking and lifting, protecting internal ...

Muscles can only contract and relax, so they always work in pairs called antagonistic muscles. Skeletal muscle is joined to bones. Its cells contract to make bones move and joints bend.

This method is a widely used model system to study the course of acute or chronic infections in mice. The researchers then analysed the gene expression in the skeletal muscles of the animals and ...

Skeletal muscles move the bones in the body. The skeletal system is made from bones and joints. The femur bone in the thigh is the longest and strongest bone in the body. The smallest bones in the ...
