Introduction: Satellite cells are known as the main regenerative cell type in skeletal muscles. Our study established a modified digestion and preplating method for the isolation of slow or weak adherent cells for the enrichment of satellite cells. Low-survival rate of these primary stem cells prompted us to address whether cell culture medium substitution might change cell viability status. M...

vitamin d deficiency is a worldwide epidemic, with well known impacts on calcium metabolism and bone health, but increasingly recognized associations with chronic health problems such as bowel and colonic cancer, arthritis, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. in recent years in the sports medicine literature, there has been an increased focus on the potential impact that inadequate vitamin d l...

background: in diabetes mellitus because of the absence or insufficient sensitivity to insulin, glucose transporter protein in cell membrane, glucose transporter 4, is decreased. glut4 is the major glucose transporter in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, which is under control of insulin. it remains, however, unclear whether cinnamaldehyde plays a regulatory role(s) or not. objectives: the ob...

Background: Skeletal muscle radiodensity is associated with postoperative complications in cancer. However, data on skeletal and complication risk patients non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are scarce, this study investigated the relationship between NSCLC treated by thoracoscopic lobectomy.

Skeletal muscle represents over 40% of the body and is important for metabolism, exercise, movement [...]

Fetal rhabdomyomas (RM) are extremely rare benign mesenchymal tumours that occur primarily in the head and neck.This tumour exhibits immature skeletal muscle differentiation. The patients’ median age is four years and surgical resectionis the recommended treatment.Fetal RM of limbs are rare and not well described in the literature and if, predominantly in form of case reports. We reportthe seco...

  Muscle tissue, skeletal muscle as well as cardiac muscle, is commonly affected in mitochondrial disorders. One explanation for this observation is that muscle tissue has a high-energy demand and therefore is more sensitive to a deficiency of mitochondrial energy production than some other tissues. In mitochondrial disorders, skeletal muscle tissue may be affected primarily by defective respi...
