  1. 1. Human extraocular muscles : molecular diversity of a unique muscle allotype

    Författare :Daniel Kjellgren; Fatima Pedrosa-Domellöf; Lars-Erik Thornell; Lillemor Wachtmeister; John Porter; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ophtalmology; extraocular; muscle; myosin; protein c; laminin; serca; immunocytochemistry; human; Oftalmiatrik; Ophtalmology; Oftalmologi; oftalmiatrik; Ophtalmology;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: The extraocular muscles (EOMs) are considered a separate class of skeletal muscle, allotype. Myosin is the major contractile protein in muscle. The myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms are the best molecular markers of functional heterogeneity of muscle fibers. LÄS MER

  3. 2. A Muscle Perspective on the Pathophysiology of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis : Differences between extraocular and limb muscles

    Författare :Vahid M. Harandi; Jingxia Liu; Fatima Pedrosa Domellöf; Per Stål; Fawzi Kadi; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuromuscular junctions; Extraocular muscles; Skeletal muscle; Neurotrophic factor; Wnt; Motor neuron disease; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; SOD1G93A mice; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a late-onset progressive neurodegenerative disorder. ALS has been traditionally believed to be primarily a motor neuron disease. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Genetic studies of zebrafish muscles : clues to protection in muscle disease

    Författare :Nils Dennhag; Fatima Pedrosa Domellöf; Jonas von Hofsten; Tatjana Haitina; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; zebrafish; muscle; extraocular muscles; intermediate filaments; bioinformatics; genetics; CRISPR Cas9; oftalmiatrik; ophthalmology; cellforskning; cell research;

    Sammanfattning : Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are caused by dysregulation of over 40 proteins but commonly share features of muscle weakness, myofiber death and regeneration, loss of ambulation and premature death. A MD involves a broken link anywhere in the connection from extracellular matrix through the sarcolemma to the sarcomere. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Extraocular Muscles in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

    Författare :Anton Tjust; Fatima Pedrosa Domellöf; Mona Lindström; Thomas Brännström; Eva Hedlund; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ALS; EOM; Satellite cells; innervation; neuromuscular disease; neurodegenerative disease; anatomi; Human Anatomy;

    Sammanfattning : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease of motor neurons characterized by muscle paralysis and death within 3-5 years of onset. However, due to unknown mechanisms, the extraocular muscles (EOMs) remain remarkably unaffected. LÄS MER

  7. 5. New Biomarkers for Neuromuscular Function and Myasthenia Gravis

    Författare :Carl Johan Molin; Anna Rostedt Punga; Johan Widenfalk; Nils Hailer; Jan Verschuuren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomarkers; myasthenia gravis; neuromuscular function; neurophysiology;

    Sammanfattning : Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder, which is caused by autoantibodies against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR). The cardinal symptom is muscle fatigue, which can range from slight weakness of the extraocular muscles (causing droopy eyelids or double vision), to paralysis of the respiratory muscles. LÄS MER
