Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an inherited X-linked degenerative muscular disorder predominantly caused by frame-disrupting mutations arising from gross rearrangements in the dystrophin gene. 1 ...

Researchers have investigated the effect of increased cell temperature on the contractility of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle by heating the muscle proteins using advanced microscopical techniques ...

Lower skeletal muscle mass was associated with an increased risk for short- and long-term mortality in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA). This association was particularly strong with ...
