An Improved Method For Studying Mouse Diaphragm Function
During this virtual poster, Dr. Lessa will present a detailed and ready-to-use protocol on the design and manufacture of diaphragm clamps, and why this method is useful to any laboratory interested in performing mouse diaphragm function assay.
Perception and Encoding of Temporally Patterned Odour Stimuli in Mice
Dr. Dasgupta explains his lab’s research looking at methodology and applications for analyzing the temporal structure of odour plumes.
ASO-Mediated DNM2 Knockdown for Centronuclear Myopathies
During this virtual poster, Suzie presents research they have done to show that reduction of the large GTPase DNM2 in a mouse model of the X-linked form, due to loss of myotubularin phosphatase MTM1, prevents the development of the skeletal muscle pathophysiology.
The MRL/MpJ Mouse Strain is Not Protected From Muscle Atrophy and Weakness After Rotator Cuff Tear
During this virtual poster, Alex discusses how the MRL/MpJ mouse strain has been touted as a “superhealer”. However, varying tissues have been reported to display different levels of healing ability. The Medias lab sought to test that ability in skeletal muscle.
ULK2 is Essential For Degradation of Ubiquitinated Protein Aggregates and Homeostasis in Skeletal Muscle
The goal of the Lira Lab is to understand how autophagy and other proteolytic processes are regulated in skeletal muscle as they play distinct roles in maintaining skeletal muscle homeostasis, morphology, protein aggregate degradation, and autophagy.
