Skeletal muscle fibers are versatile entities, capable of changing their phenotype in response to altered functional demands. In the present study, fast-to-slow fiber type transitions were induced in rabbit tibialis anterior (TA) muscles by chronic low-frequency stimulation (CLFS). The time course o

The South American opossum, Monodelphis domestica, is very immature at birth, and we wished to assess its potential for studies of jaw muscle development. Given the lack of prior information about any Monodelphis fiber types or spindles, our study aimed to identify for the first time fiber types in
Surgical lengthening of limbs often results in loss of range of joint movement and this has been shown to be associated with an increase in passive tension and an increase in collagen content of the muscles. In this study, we have investigated the length/tension properties and the connective tissue
