Fnip1 Regulates Skeletal Muscle Fiber Type Specification, Fatigue Resistance, and Susceptibility to Muscular Dystrophy
Skeletal muscle is characterized by the presence of two distinct categories of muscle fibers called Type I "red" slow twitch and Type II "white" fast twitch, which display marked differences in contraction strength, metabolic strategies, and susceptibility to fatigue. The relative representation of each fiber type can have ...
Versican Expression During Embryonic Development in the Mouse
(2014-04-30)
Versican is a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan and a component of the extracellular matrix that has previously been shown to have an important role during the embryonic development of many organs. In this study, versican expression in the head, heart, lung and liver was tracked during development in the mouse. Versican gene ...
Murine norovirus abrogates Chlamydia pneumoniae accelerated atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- mice
Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn), a common respiratory pathogen of humans, has a strong seroepidemiologic association with cardiovascular disease as well as the ability to accelerate atherosclerosis in hyperlipidemic animal models. Our laboratory recently demonstrated that murine norovirus (MNV), a highly prevalent infection of ...
