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 …
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, …
Non-invasive Assessment of Dorsiflexor Muscle Function in Mice
Frederico Gerlinger-Romero and colleaguesdescribe how to conduct repetitive, non-invasive in vivo assessment of the dorsiflexor muscles over time in the same …
Applications of In Vivo Functional Testing of the Rat Tibialis Anterior for Evaluating Tissue Engineered Skeletal Muscle Repair
We describe an in vivo protocol to measure dorsiflexion of the foot following stimulation of the peroneal nerve and contraction of the anterior crural compartment of the rat …
in-vivo Canine Muscle Function Assay
We describe a minimally-invasive and painless method to measure canine hind limb muscle strength and muscle response to repeated eccentric …
Force Measurement During Contraction to Assess Muscle Function in Zebrafish Larvae
Force measurements can be used to demonstrate changes in muscle function due to development, injury, disease, treatment or chemical toxicity. In this video, we demonstrate a method to measure force …
Evaluation of Muscle Function of the Extensor Digitorum Longus Muscle ex vivo and Tibialis Anterior Muscle in situ in Mice
Changes in limb muscle contractile and passive mechanical properties are important biomarkers for muscle diseases. This manuscript describes physiological assays to measure these properties in the …
