## Abstract The present study involved a global analysis of genes whose expression was modified in rat soleus muscle atrophied after hindlimb suspension (HS). HS muscle unloading is a common model for muscle disuse that especially affects antigravity slowβtwitch muscles such as the soleus muscle. A
Although a number of cytokines have been implicated in tissue regeneration, it is unknown which ones actually function in vivo. Here, we use mice with a targeted mutation in the leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) gene to examine the role of LIF in muscle regeneration. Using a muscle crush model, we sh
To determine the role of the nerve on the establishment of myofiber diversity in skeletal muscles, the lumbosacral spinal cord of 14-day gestation mice (E14) was laser ablated, and the accumulation of the myosin alkali light chains (MLC) mRNAs in crural (hindleg) muscles was evaluated just prior to
