This structure gives skeletal muscle a characteristic striated structure. Muscle contraction occurs when these myofilaments move closer together when stimulated by the release of the ...

Rhabdomyolysis means a breakdown of striated muscle, allowing myoglobin, muscle enzymes, potassium, and other intracellular constituents to leak in to the blood. It has a long and varied list of ...

Seven days later, analysis of immunohistochemical staining for dystrophin showed expression of dystrophin proteins in ∼1 % of quadriceps muscle cells localized mostly in the sarcolemma.

But classical differentiation protocols to create these muscle cells are long, complex and difficult to reproduce. An advanced technique now allows human iPSCs to be converted into striated ...
