The formation of the limb musculature (a process called myogenesis) happens independently of chondrogenesis[162]. In fact, the precursors of muscles and cartilage derive from two different cell populations: Muscle precursor cells originate in the somites and migrate to the limb buds early in developm...
The ventral portion of the epithelial somite generates the sclerotome, whereas the dorsal part remains epithelial and becomes the dermomyotome, which gives rise to dermis and muscle. The myotome (brown-staining product depicting desmin immunoreactivity) forms between dermomyotome and sclerotome. The...
Production of Internal Torque By convention, the "strength" of a muscle action within the axial skeleton is expressed as an internal torque, defined for the sagittal, frontal, and horizontal planes. Within each plane, the maximal internal torque potential is equal to the product of (1) the ...
HO, also known as myositis ossificans, is a benign pathological condition in which the repair process is disturbed and results in extraskeletal bone formation. HO can be a common complication of musculoskeletal trauma or injury to muscle and other soft tissues.235The HO process is highly reliant...
(E-Gripper) is developed,in which the muscle actuating function has been separated from the force bearing function.The soft action of an E-Gripper finger is performed by some air chambers surrounded by multilayer rubber embedded in the restraining fiber.The gripping force is borne and transferred...
Approximately 75% of the patients with bladder cancer present with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) at the time of diagnosis. The standard treatment to prevent the recurrence and progression of bladder cancer is a topical application of high-dose Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Gue ...
(De Matteis and Morrow, 2000). βI spectrin has been definitively identified only in erythrocytes, brain, and muscle, although immunocrossreactive forms have been found in the Golgi of other cells. βII spectrin is widely expressed and generally associated with the plasma membrane (PM). βIII...
When applicable, these evaluations included MRI, electromyography, muscle ultrasound, and/or laboratory and sometimes also genetic testing to exclude other underlying neurologic disorders. Children were asked to walk freely and repeatedly in a straight line while an experimenter stood at the end of the...
