2. Muscle Cell Diagram
Shulman and colleagues propose that fatty acids block glucose movement from the bloodstream into the muscles. By activating an enzyme called PKC0, the fatty acids set off a cascade that causes defects in activation of insulin receptor substrates (...

3. Scientists Identify Muscle Forming Cells
When reading through the scientific literature, it’s easy to encounter the long, anatomically descriptive names of adult stem cells.  These include tongue twisters such as bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and multi-potent adult progenito...

4. Sex of Adult Mouse Muscle Stem Cells Affects Their Muscle Regeneration Efficiency
Researchers have recently discovered that the sex of cells in a subpopulation of muscle-generating stem cells in adult mice can considerably influence their capacity to repair tissue. The finding may persuade researchers to consider the implicatio.....

5. Protein and Muscle Cell Structures Linked in Muscular Dystrophy Muscle Loss
Scientists supported by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) have found that dystrophin, the large protein absent from people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), plays a direct role in properly alig...

7. Covariation of individual CM cells and their target muscles
The existence of monosynaptic connections between primary motor cortex neurons and motoneurons is well established (Lemon and Porter, 1993). These Corticomotor (CM) neurons and the signals they carry are integral to understanding mechanisms underl...

9. Insulin Action in Muscle & Fat Cells - Oscar
Insulin lowers blood glucose by stimulating glucose uptake and storage in various target tissues, the most important being liver, skeletal muscle, and fat. The failure to respond appropriately to insulin results in a rise in blood sugar. Type II d...

10. Ozz, A Protein That Regulates Development and Function of Muscle Cells
Ozz is a muscle-specific adapter protein of an E3 ligase complex that ubiquitinates ß-catenin and may target ß-catenin and MyHCemb for degradation during myogenesis. Deregulation of Ozz activity in developing and/or differentiating muscle fibers m...
