• 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 ...
