Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Striated muscle is the most common muscle type in the vertebrate body. This book describes in molecular terms the components and intracellular events responsible for the contraction and relaxation of striated muscle. The topic is introduced with a discussion of motile systems occurring throughout the biological world and their relation to the highly specialised contractile system of muscle. Professor Perry then goes on to discuss the mechanochemical process and the regulatory roles of calcium, I filament proteins and phosphorylation. The book ends with an examination of the role of dystrophin and its implications in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the most common form of muscle disease. Molecular Mechanisms in Striated Muscle will provide an important source of information and current theory for researchers and postgraduate students in muscle physiology, biochemistry and medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a collection of original research and review articles addressing the intriguing field of the cellular and molecular players involved in muscle homeostasis and regeneration. One of the most ambitious aspirations of modern medical science is the possibility of regenerating any damaged part of the body, including skeletal muscle. This desire has prompted clinicians and researchers to search for innovative technologies aimed at replacing organs and tissues that are compromised. In this context, the papers, collected in this book, addressing a specific aspects of muscle homeostasis and regeneration under physiopathologic conditions, will help us to better understand the underlying mechanisms of muscle healing and will help to design more appropriate therapeutic approaches to improve muscle regeneration and to counteract muscle diseases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skeletal muscle represents one of the most abundant tissues in our body that primarily acts as a protein reservoir as well as maintains the structural framework of the body regulating important life processes. Similar to other muscle tissues, skeletal muscle maintains its mass and functionality by balancing the rate of muscle synthesis and degradation. However, disruption of this intricate balance results in debilitating wasting conditions such as myopathies and dystrophies that not only adversely affects skeletal muscle but also promotes whole body catabolism. In several chronic diseases including cancer, sustained muscle wasting eventually culminates in respiratory failure, morbidity and increased mortality with no available therapeutic interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses recent advances and various topics in plasticity of skeletal muscle from the perspectives of morphology, biological function, and clinical applications. Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic organ to adapt to environmental various demands, appears to endocrine various myokines, which flow into blood to protect the recognizing function of brain and inhibit the appearance of several cancer tumorigenesis. The book deals with current stem-cell based, pharmacological, and nutritional therapies for muscle wasting (sarcopenia, cachexia, and muscular dystrophy). It also explains the roles of biological mediators such as PGC-1, transient receptor potential cation channels (TRPC), and AMPK in modulating muscle function. The functional roles of ubiquitin-proteasome system, autophagy-dependent signaling in muscle homeostasis, ribosome biogenesis, and redox regulation of mechanotransduction to modulate skeletal muscle mass are also covered. It is an essential resource for physicians, researchers, post-docs as well as graduate students in the field of sports science including rehabilitation therapy, exercise physiology, exercise biochemistry, and molecular biology dealing with skeletal muscle.
