Cut and Paste of Myosin Binding Protein-C in Striated Muscles
Dr. Samantha Harris discusses the development of three new mouse models in her lab, engineered to target and replace specific myosin binding protein-C paralogs in muscle fibers and impact of their mutations on skeletal and cardiac muscle diseases.
Integrating Patient Engagement and Trainee Development in Pre-Clinical Research
Christopher Perry, PhD discusses how his laboratory aims to discover mechanisms by which metabolic dysfunction causes muscle weakness and apply these findings to develop new therapies for muscle disorders. Homira Osman, PhD will provide a particular focus on leveraging scientific findings for practice and policy and linking trainees with patient communities.
Functional Recovery of the Musculoskeletal System Following Injury – Leveraging the Large Animal Model
Watch Dr. Sarah Greising discuss the current pathophysiologic understanding of the skeletal muscle remaining following traumatic musculoskeletal injuries.
Investigating a Novel Regulator of Atrial Contractility
Dr. David Barefield gives an in-depth discussion on his research investigating the role of the MyBP-HL protein in atrial dysfunction.
Identification and Classification of Tongue-Innervating Mechanoreceptors
Join Yalda Moayedi, PhD, for a discussion on how tongue-innervating neurons can be clearly identified and classified according to their mechanosensory functionalities.
Musculoskeletal Complications of Cancer and its Treatments
In this webinar Dr. Bonetto presents evidence that bone preservation directly impacts muscle size and function in cachexia, thus also contributing to unraveling novel pathogenetic mechanisms and opening new avenues for treatment.
Aging and Skeletal Muscle Plasticity
WEBINAR: Join Sue Bodine, PhD for a deep dive into her research focused on the decline in muscle mass with aging and the role that innervation plays in muscle atrophy.
Experimental Muscle Mechanics in Aging and Disease
WEBINAR: Dr. Qaisar and Matt Borkowski deep dive into the experimental protocols used for measuring muscle function and mechanics for in vivo and in vitro research.
Considerations for Rigorous Pre-clinical Studies in Murine Muscular Dystrophy
WEBINAR: Experts will cover key considerations in the design and execution of rigorous pre-clinical efficacy studies in rodent models of Muscular Dystrophy.
Decoding Turbulent Chemical Plumes with Improved Signal Processing and Machine Learning
WEBINAR: Dr. Javier Burgués will demonstrate how he is leveraging low-cost chemical sensors to decode the fine-scale structure of turbulent chemical plumes.
How to Plan and Execute Contractile Measurements in Permeabilized Muscle Fibers
WEBINAR: Matt Borkowski & Dr Tim West discuss how to plan and expertly execute contractile measurements in permeabilized muscle fibers.
