Microtubule Defects and Neurodegeneration

One of the major challenges facing the long term survival of neurons is their requirement to maintain efficient axonal transport over long distances. In humans as large, long-lived vertebrates, the machinery maintaining neuronal transport must remain efficient despite the slow accumulation of cell damage during aging. Mutations in genes encoding proteins which function in the transport system f...

Are muscles mechanically independent?

MOST PHYSIOLOGY TEXTS imply that the mechanism by which force is transmitted from sarcomeres to muscle insertions is simple: when skeletal muscles contract, cross-bridge forces are transmitted along myofibrils, through the sarcolemma and extracellular matrix to tendons and, ultimately, bones. At each level of organization, myofibrils, muscle fibers, and muscles behave as mechanically independen...
