• Costamere remodeling with muscle loading and unloading in healthy young men 

      Li, Ruowei; Narici, Marco V.; Erskine, Robert M.; Seynnes, Olivier R.; Rittweger, Jörn; Pisot, Rado; Simunic, Bostjan; Flück, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-09-08)
      Costameres are mechano-sensory sites of focal adhesion in the sarcolemma that provide a structural anchor for myofibrils. Their turnover is regulated by integrin-associated focal adhesion kinase (FAK). We hypothesized that ...
    • Functional and Structural Adaptations of Skeletal Muscle in Long-Term Juvenile Dermatomyositis: a Controlled Cross-Sectional Study 

      Berntsen, Kristin Schjander; Raastad, Truls; Marstein, Henriette; Kirkhus, Eva Astrid; Merckoll, Else; Cumming, Kristoffer Toldnes; Flatø, Berit; Sjaastad, Ivar; Sanner, Helga (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Objective: To compare muscle strength and endurance of the knee extensors between patients with long‐term juvenile dermatomyositis (DM) and controls and between patients with active disease and those with inactive disease, ...
    • Skeletal muscle adaptations to physical inactivity and subsequent retraining in young men 

      Campbell, Emma-Louise; Seynnes, Olivier R.; Bottinelli, R.; McPhee, Jamie S.; Atherton, P. J.; Jones, D. A.; Butler-Browne, Gillian; Narici, Maco V. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-05-12)
      Skeletal muscle structure and function are markedly affected by chronic disuse. With unloading, muscle mass is lost at rate of about 0.4 %/day but little is known about the recovery of muscle mass and strength following ...
    • Skeletal Muscle Memory 

      Sharples, Adam; Turner, Daniel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Skeletal muscle memory is an exciting phenomenon gaining significant traction across several scientific communities, amongst exercise practitioners and the public. Research has demonstrated that skeletal muscle tissue can ...
